The Steemit Wild-Man
The original steemit #wild-man is now available for house calls. Well I can't speak on your situation, but mine was quite dire. We were trying to grill, but there happened to be a wasp buzzing our bbq pit. Let's face it, one can't grill with a wasp living in your grill. That's when you call on the one and only @Papa-Pepper. I don't have much money or steem so I paid him with steak.
The Xtrodinary Dilemma
@Xtrodinarypilot lives in Texas and and @Papa-Pepper lives somewhere in Arkansas, but he was willing to make that drive. Who wouldn't when you realize that you are being paid with one of these steaks
But we'll get to that later.
Appetizers
On most of my cooking posts I normally get step by step directions and let you know what ingredients we will be using. Today that is not the case. What we first need to do is get this darn wasp removed.
There's Adventure in all of Us
I showed you how to pay rent with STEEM
I showed you how to turn STEEM into CASH
I took you on a day as Urkle
I took you to @ned scott's funeral (RIP)
I took you to #STEEMITGUNCLUB
STEEM ON & I WILL TAKE YOU PLACES

They are just protein waiting for the eating! Personally I won't be joining them, I am more into mainstream protein but when push comes to shove, I will be munching on some toasted crickets or boiled mud-bugs (better known as crayfish/crawdads/crawfish/freshwater or mountain lobster)!

I loved this part "I don't have much money or steem so I paid him with steak."
In my country the aborigen eats gusanos de moriche, is like a very fat worm. They say its delicious like bacon, I haven't tried but after this post I would like to.

More bug eating! Any foragers from further north have any bug collecting wisdom? I believe that however you feel about bug eating this important knowledge to teach your whole family just in case we run into some form of starvation times.

I did not consider how this could be useful. Foraging for bugs... @openparadigm you are going to go far.

Thanks for the compliment, though to be fair I learned this from Jared Diamond in his book Collapse. In the book he analyses pacific islands and takes lessons from there successes and failures and uses them to look at the problems facing island earth. The lesson that applies here is that when starvation times came( and history shows this happens regularly) if the grandparents had gone through these times before then they would remember foods that while not usually desirable would still sustain life . This makes teaching my kids foraging not only fun but also something that might keep them alive someday.

Wondering what it tasted like! Actually in modern gastronomy more and more great chefs are using bugs in their dishes!
I recently had a post on weird food, it was about ant eggs! You can check it out if you wish!
