Pick up some dried shrimp from a Thai/Chinese grocery and chuck a bunch in a bottle of vodka for a week. Store it in the freezer and take shots - Highly recommended for your next party, very unique and memorable flavor, nice digestif/aperitif but also excellent for drinking games

#12Big fan of the "eat the invaders" movement. Kudzu leaves, roots, flowers and vine tips are all very common ingredients in dishes in SE Asia where its native. Some invasive seaweed species can be a rare vegan source of omega-3s and are quite edible. Asian carp can be a great dish. Dandelion greens are some of the most delicious greens I've ever tried
Lobster, escargot, and many other foods were looked at with disgust once. Brassica oleracea is basically a weed that humans eventually decided to cultivate to give us broccoli, cabbage, kale, kohlrabi, and much more
If we can just be a LITTLE more open minded about our diets we could really adapt to the new ecosystems we're creating

Lobster was once thought of as gross poor people food. Same with escargot in France
I mean - to be fair lobster is basically a giant sea cockroach. ------ Although these organisms appear to be very different, plenty of evidence suggests that the lobster and the cockroach are more similar than many people might think! They are both arthropods with segmented bodies, exoskeletons made of chitin, and a need to molt as they grow. Both groups have compound eyes, jointed legs, and muscle fibers gathered in…
Maybe we should try cockroaches next!

Was anyone under the impression that fermenting and distilling boiled crab broth would not be lethal to the crab?

Don't forget locusts. People used to catch them in nets by the dozens when they descended on crops and fry them.
Unfortunately, pesticide use may make them too toxic to eat now:

Snakeheads too are great to eat. Just don’t let them out of your sight while alive.
