I would have to be so desperate for food, that I was hallucinating and they looked like something I was use to eating.

We have a built in survival instinct and starvation would drive us to eat whatever hinted as food.

But the thought of it is truly gross beyond gross, and I don't like choc very much so choc coated wouldn't solve the problem.

Oh dear, I am so very particular about my food - I can't even imagine eating something out of the ordinary.

However, if I did not know or even guess what it really was, I'd probably eat it. I'm easily fooled

I understand insects are very nutritious - almost pure protein. but roaches aren't fussy what they eat or where they go>>>>>>>>>>>>

Definately absolutely no! Lol.

I couldn't eat any living thing, and even if it was dead I still wouldn't cause it'd be sort of pointless I guess what with just being able to go to the supermarket and that. No point kiling owt else, lol.

I'd eat actual chocolate ones. Like, chocolate mice. They'd be fun life size with caramel in the middle.

Now I don't eat meat but I have to confess to eating fish and wonder if a cockroach is much different to a prawn which after all, likes to tred water with its' mouths open at sewage outlets

Any visit to an Asian country could be a big eye opener for people who are not usually that brave in the food department, cockroaches are infact quite plain compared to what Asians can eat. When you go to any Indian temple often you are given a spoon of white liquidy thing. It contains many ingredients including cow urine.
