I've been reading about the nutritional value of insects, and how including them in our diet could help towards combating climate change. I have to admit a slight aversion to the idea of eating insects, but I also want to do my bit towards reducing global warming. The problem is, I really don't know where to start, so this is a kind of appeal for advice. Anyway, to kick off; does anyone have any suggestions on how one would go about preparing a brace of house flies?

I haven't even given the choice of wine a thought, bod. Perhaps a thimble full of something fruity with a hint of decomposition. hmmm

I'm not sure you could eat them, Merc, but they could certainly be cut into pieces and used to add flavour, sort of like bay leaf.

A nice Chateau Roachgrave 2018 with a Termite Tureen starter perhaps?

mbken: This chick was into it!
The last emergence of cicadas here in Dublin Ohio was in June, 2021. They had to delay the play of the memorial golf tournament here because at one point it was difficult to find the players golf balls.

Throw them in an electric colander.

A brace of 55 flies would be about 110 all together ... in case you're wondering ... cool

I believe a major pet store has introduced insect based dog food, so if it's good enough for our four-legged friends it should be good enough for us.

I'm not wholly against pushing my nose into other people's groins.
I'd have to have a think about the other stuff though.

This not going to end well.....disturbing nature even more.... Insects for consumption probably factory farmed in some way.....gene editing and unnatural feeding....just to get an acceptable volume.....cant rely on a supply from the wild or it will be depleted..adding this to whatever is being done already to food.....and upsetting the fundamentals of nature.. ..in the so called interest of saving the planet....

How about start with using some marmalade to lure the house flies and then mix them just as added flavour in your marmalade !! hmmm

But be careful about the equation and ratio between the flies and marmalade though .. professor
I mean , who knows , who's gonna eat whom at the end of (or beginning of) the day !! uh oh
