If you can eat this then you can eat cockroaches.
Stop pretending and go for it. We nor judge you.

So if you eat Ram it is the same as eating Pig,since all are red meat?
Oga it is like eating Grasshoppers or cricket.

Cocroahes are found mostly in latrines.
FYI...me personally doesn't eat Goat,beacause the skin smells.

Very tasty, I remember those days wen we were young, my dad will on our generator very early in the morning so could catch them. Light attract them, and the whole village will come out house to catch them. AKU EBE, we call it in my part of Mbaise, Omukwu, Onicha.

I learnt how to eat this in the boarding house.

We would catch them and clean with water. After that, we would fry in butter on a stainless steel plate using a lantern burner (head and globe removed).

Eating this with soaked garri was heavenly.

I miss eating this flying termites, gone are those days in the late 90s, we are all hunters in the area (Trenches) when it come to this flying termites called Esunsun or Iba as called by we Yorubas, Igbos call it Aku, this termites is said to be very nutritious, so rich in protein.
My childhood experience is incomplete without talking about hunting of Esunsun, snails and fruits, so funny unforgettable experience.
This insect comes out at night following light, sometimes in the early morning when it's still dark.
Esunsun are actually termites that fly, very proteinous and nutritious. Known as Macrotermes bellicosus scientifically.
I won't say much about the peptides and all other biochemical and microbiological information about this insect.
If you are a nairalander here and you have not tasted this it means you are still a kid though aka indomie and vuji bobo generation, in village this is a very good appetizer you fry it with salt and pepper and enjoy it
