Insect Salad

Andrew doesn't like to try eating new things, so the other day we pulled a note from the comic Calvin & Hobbes. We had Insect Salad. For the adventurous, you should try it.

Spider Legs stir-fried in Slug Slime
Crushed Grasshoppers
Ground-up Bug Brains

douse it in Snake Blood
top with Beetle Backs

Andrew thought it was very silly, but was willing to try it and found that he liked it. For those of you who are less adventurous, here're the non-insect ingredients, respectively.

Ramen noodles crushed and stir-fried in butter
Shredded Green Cabbage
Ground-up Chicken

douse in: 1/4cp vinegar, 1/4cp water, 1/4cp oil, 1/2cp sugar, 1T soy sauce
top with Sliced Almonds

Thanks, Patricia, for the original recipe. It is one of our favorite summer foods.
