My Blue Cheese Is... A favored dish on most menus and often more expensive too; this treat for some still continues to be for me a huge taboo. Selective eater, I am not... I like all veggies and most meats presented as both cold and hot... but NO to creepy-crawler treats! No, thanks...to 'beetles' of the sea... crustaceans with long antennae! No Lobster tails and claws for me... to eating bugs I won't comply! Sandra M. Haight ~3rd Place~ Contest: A Stunner 2018 Sponsor: Line Gauthier Judged: 03/18/2018 NOTE: "The thick slabs of meat you get off a good-sized lobster are a little hard to conceptualize as insect meat, I’ll grant you, but according to the most modern data it really is accurate to think of lobsters as ocean-bound beetles..."

I agree whole heartedly. Though if we ate beetles and insects, we would save on methane gas and have a sustainable way to feed the 'masses'...

I think your poem is excellent, Sandra... right up to the word 'comply' - it struck me as not the best choice... But congrats on a very witty poem.

I refuse to read the concluding paragraph lest it tarnish my love of shellfish, and I mean LOVE. I even like snails, but, insects - yuck, an entirely different matter to my palate. Good poem, Sandra - I truly enjoyed it. CayCay

I do not like them either, Sandra. And shrimp. UGGG. I guess I can stand lobster more than shrimp. It also depends a lot on how it's prepared. good entry.

Yes, Andrea, no to shrimp for me too! I just can't get past the way they look! Thanks for the positive comment. Hugs, Sandra
