Call me a diva but I would not eat anything I opened that had bugs in it.

This is my favorite part:

"Produced on USA FDA-registered farms; crickets fed a diet of vegetables in hygienic conditions. Crickets are pressure cooked & ground into a fine cricket flour."

Cricket flour is totally a thing. We find it weird, but I've messed with it before.

I would try properly prepared bugs. It's supposed to be a great source of protein that is really good for the environment (atleast compared to beef).

For Christmas, my housemate got a char-griller wih a smoker, and we've literally used it every day since we set it up. It's amazing how much better vegetables and meat taste when they're char-grilled compared to kitchen cooked. Why is that so? Anyone have any suggestions for stuff to try?

It's the cancer

Charred leeks are exceptional with a vinaigrette.

Throw a thick cut well seasoned steak directly on the coals. Flip after a minute or two. Brush off the ash and use some sauce.

Cancer

[icarusfall]

Yes, I'm aware.

Whole sweet potatoes cooked in the coals are very nice. Butter and brown sugar.

For a similar flavor, I use olive oil powder and set it on fire until it's about half charred, put it out and mix. Tastes like campfire.

Good call on the leeks, they were amazing!
