Someone was keeping them at the biological institute where we were students and, of course, because of the way they reproduce, they couldn't keep them from multiplying and so we got to take some home for free.

LOL. Sorry I'm just enjoying my own joke. It read in your first quote like you kept vegetarians as pets. This last quote makes it even funnier.

Used to eat bugs as a kid, or at least I pretended to do it because I loved scaring the **** out of girls. It worked, haha. Think I was around 4 or 5 though.

I've eaten freshly killed dragonfly wing muscles as a kid.
It has a very specific flavor of freshly killed dragonfly wing muscles that's sure to impress.

How to eat:
1. Catch dragonfly.
2. Remorselessly tear each wing section apart from each other (slowly and agonizingly, so you don't remove just the wing. The back should split open down the middle).
3. Remove wings in such a way as some slimy brownish strips of stuff come off.
4. Eat that.
5. Grow up and join internet forum.

Well we already do consume a lot of insects due to mass food production. There are allowances for a percentage of insect parts in food. An unsubstantiated Google suggests about 430 bugs a year.

Oh man, how didn't I see that I thought you were just making a comment on the strange world I live in where people would keep stick insects as pets!

Some added protein to our diet then!

I guess Erica might not like to hear about that.

Broccoli's probably the worst for that. Usually find huge green caterpillars nestled in the stalks and they're the same colour as the stalk so impossible to see.
