Highlights of Tracking in the Boyne Valley
I have been thinking a lot this Winter about how amazing it is that all of the various species we track can survive such apparent hardships of freezing temperatures, labourious snow depths, and drastically reduced vegetal forage. It’s like turning off the heat in your house, wading through 60 - 90 odd cm (2 - 3 ft) carpet pile, while constantly engaging all your senses to find the perpetually vigilant and furtive refrigerator. Tough times indeed.
A Short List of Bugs I have Eaten
I am very much interested in the edibility of invertebrates. Recognizing that most of the world commonly consumes insects and other inverts, I get to wondering why we in the Northern parts of Turtle Island/North America don’t really consume them.
In light of this wondering I have been setting out to learn as much as I can about which insects I can eat, and how I can learn to prepare them. Below I will be creating an ever expanding list of insects and other inverts I have eaten and how I have prepared them.
