The Ngunnawal people came to Canberra specifically to harvest Bogong moths during the migration as they are a valuable source of protein and fats.
All the people here having a crack at Australian cuisine don’t have a clue. These moths are quite tasty.
What do they taste like?
A light nutty taste. Very moreish with a bit of salt
I don’t think the vegans would like that, kill 2000 endangered moths or one hundredth of a cow?
Depends… if you don’t eat meat for environmental reasons insect protein is a good replacement. Also, if the moths are appearing as a plague they don’t sound endangered to me.
It’s their migratory cycle to reproduce, storms blew them into Sydney from the mountains
This is a facebook bs repost. There are no articles from ‘authorities’ encouraging anyone to eat the moths.
Sir this is a shitpost
Remember, everything we see on the Internet is totally true. If we find out otherwise, we need to shout it from the mountaintops rather than just rolling out eyes and moving on
Sir, a lot of ppl in these comments seem to have missed that. Just providing context that it is, in fact, not true
The wings totally helped with presentation
The big problem with eating fried insects is that you need to rinse your mouth with something or the bits stay around. Flour made from insects may be better, but it is 5-10 as much cost, and since it is mostly proteins you would need special recipes for it, I guess.
Most insects probably have similar mouth feel issues.I’ve eaten thai-style fried crickets, they really weren’t that bad. I think you just have to turst that they indeed are edible, so its easier to think of them as food rather than bugs
NOT HELPING
Bro I can barely eat crayfish. They look too much like insects.
honestly looks delicious
Dunno about the wings tho.
Has anyone ever said “Hey babe let’s go to the Australian restaurant tonight”
I don’t think Australians even say that.
There’s an Australian restaurant in my neighborhood (USA). My Australian ex-gf was SHOCKED. They just have like burgers and beers and stuff lol it’s not any different from American bar food.
I know this is privileged but if it comes down to needing to eat insects, just put me down.
How is 40 billion moths, considered “scarcity”?
Aren’t these moths endangered?
After the Aussies found out how tasty they are
