You know, World War III is near and soon we won't be
able to buy food anymore. We'll have to eat maggots,
worms and beetles.

So I think its necessary to think about recipes now.

How would you cook maggots? How would you prepare
worms? How would you prepare beetles, cockroaches
and slugs???

I think maggots would be lovely sauteed in garlic butter
and served with a light cream sauce over white and wild
rice with snow peas.

first, you tell me how you're going to catch them. and how
you're going to tell the poisonous beetles from the edible
ones. if you can waste the time to catch enough grubs to
bother, why wouldn't you just snare a rabbit instead?

The maggots _are_ the wild rice. ;-)

They are supposed to be especially good saute'd in oil until they pop
like popcorn.

And there are plenty of wild weeds. Prickly pear cactus apples are good
as are the young pads from the plant itself. Wild grains, thistles,
wildflowers, acorns (properly processed), nutgrass roots, dandilion
greens, purslane, etc.

I'd like to see someone trying to milk a rabbit.

But if we're both wrong, we could spend eternity eating maggots as
prepared by Sandra Lee.

heh. easier than milking a maggot ;)
but seriously, he's talking collecting beetles or grubs to
eat. that's far more time & energy consuming than setting
snares for rabbit or squirrels.
fly maggots aren't too hard to find in quantity, i suppose, &
they do have more fats than beetles.

What on earth are you two nattering about now? This is the perfect
example of why groups should be moderated.
