Oh look, I've been ignoring a plentiful, edible food source in my garden! 🤔 "Land Shrimp!"

Although.... 😱

"Let’s stick with Pillbugs for two good reasons. Those are the only ones that roll themselves into a ball, and they are the most edible of the lineup... "

(h/t @mzedp ) https://www.eattheweeds.com/armadillidium-vulgare-land-shrimp-2/

Pillbug Fritters * 1egg *1/4 cup of creamed corn *1 cup of flour * 2 tablespoons of boiled Pillbugs Put egg in a bowl, add corn, flour, Pillbugs and milk. Lightly mix. Ingredients should be moist. Add more flour or milk as required to make mixture the correct consistency. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture into a thin layer of hot oil in a frying pan. Turn when brown on the bottom. Tastes like fish cakes.

@ai6yr I don't think I could bring myself to toss living pillbugs directly into boiling water, even if I weren't a vegetarian; that just seems like a terrible way to go. But I'll admit I can't think of a better, less painful way to kill them.

Guess I'll just have to let them live.
