Eating bugs...
in Clubhouse
I was on another BB and a woman was commenting that she woke up this morning spitting out a spider! 
- there is an urban legend that we all have ingested at least one spider in our life (you know they fall in your mouth when you're sleeping) I think I'd kill myself!
The worst that ever happened to me was that I nearly ate an earwig (the thought of it now gives me the heebie jeebies!!) - we were in a caravan on our holidays in Donegal (think Father Ted kind of caravan!!) and drinking a cup of tea - something was bumping on my lip in the tea and when I looked in it was an earwig floating on the top - I had really nearly drunk it down! *shudder*
Have you eaten any bugs?

have also eaten fried grasshopppers in Mexico - very tasty
I found a spider in my bowl of cereal once
Luckily we both survived
I ate a bowl of Mopane worms once
African delicacy
I had to drown it in peri peri sauce but forgot to remove the head
I very nearly vomited
I swallowed a couple of bugs this summer. One of them put up a fight and I could feel it all the way down. Ewwww and I'm a veggie, not nic.
Curry flapjack?!!!!
FOOF
It was on QI so must be true?
All I know
I once very nearly served a steamed green caterpillar to one of my boys.
Luckily I spotted it before he did or he'd never have eaten brocoli again.
My cousin once ate a huge slug when he was a toddler.
OH MY LORD PUD!!!!! What did you DOOOO I think i may have fainted
The thought of the whole spider eating thing just creeps me out, i prefer not to think about it
I regularly eat bugs on runs, kinda makes me laugh and i end up spitting and drinking water trying to get rid of the sensation for about 2 hours!! Grim!
shortly after the spider-eating incident, i fished an empty snail shell from the same son's mouth. to this day i don't know if the shell was full when it went in.....
You should see what my labrador eats.
The other day he'd gathered so many rabbit pellets in his mouth he was leaving a trail of them behind as he charged along to try and catch up the lurcher (who's favourite is horse poo).
The white wolf ate some poo today. Could be worse: last time there was something in the same spot he rolled in it and got totally covered (white dog with yellow streaks...). Had to walk him home under strict instructions to stay at the far end of the lead, then attack him with a hose. Then wipe the walls off where he'd brushed past on the way to the hose... Dogwalking is not always an easy job...
Other dogwalkers apparently call the corner in question 'foxes corner'. I sort of have my doubts it's foxes though: I suspect human drunks from the pub round the corner.
PS: insects are said to be a very good source of protien. If we keep overbreeding and messing up the enviroment we might all have to become more comfortable with the idea!
My friend's dog eats poo - sheep, rabbits, fox and even its own when it's dried
Summat behaviourally wrong there... Breath STINKS.
As for bugs, today on my run I ran through an invisible cloud of tiny black flies and it felt like a scarf over my face. Got home to find them in my eyes, up my nose, in ears...
Sometimes I hate living in the sticks!
I don't know why
he swallowed the fly
...
...perhaps he'll die...
I bought a smoothie once, tried to take a big slup through the straw, nothing happened so sucked harder ......................... pop there was a dead cockroache in my mouth. I wasn't blended so must've been hidding in the straw.
ho hum,
other than that. As a kid, when we went fishing, on a cold winter morning we would keep maggots in our mouths to make them less torpid and wriggle more on the hook.
I must've been one of those lovely boys you hear about
