Yummy in my tummy!

No matter which way you shake it, the scorpion isn't a 'normal' meal to us, yanks.

Thanks in part to the Olympic spotlight, the scorpion recipe has jumped the pond. For your viewing pleasure, Time Inc. is sharing its coveted shake 'n bake tutorial.

If you're looking to up the ante when serving scorpion kebabs, turn on the black light. Scorpions (naturally) glow-in-the-dark!

What? Good for the environment? How could you possibly come to that conclusion?

as an alternative to eating larger animals / protein sources. they're readily available. easy to farm and don't pollute with methane like cows.

great footage here. when you see it fried it doesn't looked so bad. It's always creeped me how similar lobsters, crabs and scorpions look. Clearly there's some relationship-- almost an impossible coincidence. That said, i'd pretty much eat anything. This WonderDudeMike character is a real sally.

The point of having cattle and chicken to eat is that we dont have to eat #$%@ like that anymore.

Woah! I never knew Scorpions glow in the dark. Makes it rather easy for their predators, don't you think?

The practice of eating insects is called entomophagy
Most insects are edible. According to eatbug.com, there are 1,462 recorded species of edible insects. And they're quite nutritious. For instance, 100 grams of cricket contains only 121 calories, less than half of beef. A cricket contains only 5,5 grams of fat, compared to 21,2g of beef. Beef contains more protein (23,5g - a cricket 12.9g) but the 100g of cricket also contains 5,1g of carbohydrates, 75,8 mg calcium, 185,3 mg phosphorous, 9,5 mg iron, thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin.

A tiny amount of liquor on a scorpion will make it instantly go mad and sting itself to death.
