THE ENTO LIFE - WHITE CHEDDAR AND COTTON CANDY CRICKET KICKERS REVIEW

You voted, I ate! They arrived faster than I expected honestly, which is exciting and somewhat dread inducing given what was picked- But eating them wasn't as tough as I expected, as I guess whatever fears I had over the concept of eating crickets went away after I stopped to think about how, yeah, people eat bugs all the time! So, with that being said, let's get into it-

(Quick note that I'll be rating these on a true 0 - 10 scale, so 5 is average/mid, not 7)

TEXTURE:

I knew they would be roasted but, honestly, I didn't expect them to be quite so dry. They're crunchy, and sort of break into little bits, kind of like if you mixed pork rinds with half-popped popcorn, and if that sounds good to you then I don't blame you, but for me it detracted from the experience a bit. Maybe it'd be better if they were ground up and put in something though?

Texture Rating: 5/10

FLAVOR (WHITE CHEDDAR):

This is what I tried first, and I wasn't really too enthusiastic about it, because I don't really like white cheddar, it's ok but it's definitely one of my least favorite cheeses. I was right to be unenthused it seems as these crickets didn't taste good in the slightest to me, as not only was the white cheddar very present, but it didn't mix with the somewhat nutty and already kind of sharp cricket flavor very well, and the aftertaste really stays with you, so this was just overall unpleasant. If you gave me a small bowl of these, I could bear it, but I'm not gonna like it.

Flavor Rating: 3/10

-

FLAVOR (COTTON CANDY):

These absolutely shocked me, as I was expecting to be equally as disgusted by these as I was by the white cheddar, but to my surprise, I liked these a lot better- Now, do they taste like cotton candy? Ehhh not really. But what they do kind of taste like is whoppers candy/maltesers/milk duds, which is a big plus for me! Malt chocolates have never been my absolute favorite sweets, but I still like them quite a bit, so this was a welcome surprise. The aforementioned flavor profile of the cricket does hit pretty quick, and like before, the aftertaste does seem to stay a while, which detracts a little bit, but these are kind of good! I could see it working in a smoothie.

Flavor Rating: 6 or 7/10

-

PRESENTATION:

This doesn't mean much when it comes to the snacks themselves, but I have to comment on it! I love the fact they come in vial-like tubes like this, plus the label design and bonus pin is a nice touch. I do kind of wish the containers were glass and metal though instead of plastic all the way through, although I understand why they did it the way they did.

Presentation Rating: 8/10

-

In conclusion, while I probably won't be getting these again, I'm glad I tried these, and it makes me curious to try other edible bugs! Would I recommend them? Well if the concept of the flavors or the way I described them seems appealing to you, then sure! and even if not, then I would at least recommend looking into other flavors or types of edible bug, as eating bugs isn't really that weird, it's just another type of food to experience!

Big thanks to everyone who voted on the flavor poll, and if you have any other suggestions for literal bug snacks that I can eat then feel free to send them my way.

Submitted by @lishd who said it was found near the southern border of Swaziland and South Africa. This fella is an edible monkey moth, Striphnopteryx edulis. Absolutely no idea why it’s called that :)

Does woody eat and if so, what does his diet consist of? (im willing to bet hes ready to go toe-to-toe with a baboon hawk for food)

He does 🥰‼ I don't have anything definitive but I do have a few noootes!

▪︎When he lived in a Manor he was very pampered and plump by being fed stuff like fruit and bread, he also had better vision because he was given the proper nutrients, now he's more carnivorous for sustainable energy

▪︎He only eats what is smaller then him, and for obvious reasons is not interested in the spore lizards (imagine the itchy eye 😭) so yipee bugs, thumpers, snare fleas etc.

▪︎Speaking of Baboon Hawks, Woody fucking hates them so bad they cause a ruckus and their beaks can poke holes in his wood, unpleasant! He avoids them but if there was a needed resource on the line then ye, hes going to beat the shit outta that monkee

If I were to guess preference/best choice, snare flea. Easy to get, plenty around, nutrient and cannot really do any harm to him

#his eye is so shit now #none of the valuable vitamins just meat #long answer short #he eats bugs and meat #hed eat veggies n fruit but hed feel horrible for taking any human rations and the moons don't seem to be flourishing in natural edibles

[lukewarmchicken]

I just randomly remembered those nacho flavored crickets I used to eat. I wonder if they still make them....

random twilight headcanons cuz i secretly adore him

primary weapon is a crossbow. fuck you

he's a Big guy. large silhouette. very broad shoulders. he's absolutely terrifying and WILL give u hugs /threat

he does not scold wild for being """crazy""" change my mind. Yes he worries, that is just his nature and Yes i think he mother hens him a bit when he's injured but if he sees wild windbombing himself across a 165916569135917ft drop just to gather a durian he's gonna think back to that time he set a goddamn bomb storage building on fire trying to catch a bug and he's not gonna be able to say Shit

his right middle finger is chopped off at the first joint. sometimes he tries to flip the others off lovingly with that hand but it never works and they cannot help but wheeze at the realization on his face when he stares at his nonexistent finger (he thinks it's funny too dw)

twilight does not have a shadow. this is a regular topic of discussion for the chain during dinner and they are consistently mystified

i believe there's been fics of this but i think it'd be nice for four to cut through that shackle around wolfie's leg. freedom.................... also i don't think injuries would usually carry over to one form or another but if it's a bad enough or Long-term wound that's constantly being reopened/prevented from healing, i think it would . perhaps there is a ring around twi's wrist that's scabbed over

big fan of twi and wars Being Buds. they r bothersome brothers who Will fight each other for sport but also hug and infodump to each other and roughhouse obnoxiously. wars may be like 24 and twi like 19 in my eyes but that doesn't mean they are past the stage of rolling around in the grass and trying to kill each other (affectionately very affectionately)

the markings on his face glow in the dark in hylian form! he also has the markings on his sides too; the strangely shaped ones on each side of his wolf form, in roughly the same places

can make a fuckin MEAN beef stew and absolutely nothing else

he loves to swim in nearby rivers in his wolf form and then purposefully shake himself off near the others. he takes great pride in their assorted panicked AW NO's and mournful goddammit's

^ if he's feeling particularly mischievous he will lie across someone's lap when he's still wet. woe, wet dog smell be upon ye

lastly his sense of humor is that of a very wholesome and innocent uncle and u cannot take that away from me

#qktalks #qkhcs #lu twilight #actually i think the bomb fire was the bugs' fault but . im blaming twilight anyway VGIEAYGVA #tw limb loss #????? for the finger #his beef stew is better than wild's actually #so wild lets him take over when they have beef stew. and wild gets to learn how to make twi's version :) #twi and wars have that in common. they can both only make one specific dish and no other meals of theirs r edible #twi: beef stew. wars: butter noodles. #i don't think it's very hard to make butter noodles but im still giving wars points for it #this is unrelated but i had a random fuckin Name pop into my head for no fuckin reason a while back and it was TwiLight Yagami. #do with that what u will

Guys I'm horrible, I come up with the worst team 8 shenanigans that I know no one will want to rp because it's too wild.

#ooc #like imagine they eat magic shrooms by accident because Shino's bugs deemed them edible #and they have an insane shroom trip together and lose 6 hours of the mission #6 hours just poof from existence because they got too busy laughing their asses off and marveling at the landscape #I'm horrible I know
