How To Eat Every Insect | Method Mastery | Epicurious
Please be advised that like certain shellfish, some people may be unable to safely consume insects due to dietary allergies.
Take a deep breath and come prepared with an open mind because today Joseph Yoon from Brooklyn Bugs is teaching us how to eat (almost) every edible insect there is. Now, we know what you're thinking - aren't tarantulas and scorpions arachnids, not insects? Also, why are you doing this Epicurious? First, yes but come on. And second - trust us. A vital and ecologically important world of food can be yours to enjoy with just a little guidance.

How To Eat Every Insect | Method Mastery | Epicurious
Thank you to everyone who took the time to watch or comment. While a personal motivation and inspiration for my work is derived from finding sustainable solutions for feeding the burgeoning population of the world, it is also really fascinating and delicious! There are over two thousand species of edible insects with wildly different flavor profiles, textures, and functionality--as a chef, think about how fun it is for me to work with so many new ingredients! Let me leave you with this thought - if even ten percent of you ate edible insects just once a week, even that would have a great impact on the environment. Respectfully yours, Chef Joseph Yoon
I am rooting for you. Will have to give your place a try when I’m in New York next. If you have a restaurant that is
I love your attitude I Stan you
Or we can just be vegetarian / vegan?
Sustainable options are great when our govt doesn’t bother to regulate the companies destroying our earth. Thank you for suggesting some more environmental friendly alternatives!
Awesome! I admire your enthusiasm and love for your art! Keep up the good work!!! Thanks for sharing this with us!
In a parallel universe people are watching "How To Eat Every Animal" while munching on insects and thinking this show is disturbing
lololololol
Haha, good one!
"i don't know man. It feels weird to eat other mammals. Maybe not my type of kitchen"

Imagine the alternative vegans fighting for bug lives 😂
Locusts: *eats crops* People who eat insects: "Welp, we gotta eat the food we grew one way or another."
you laugh but this is (theoretically) what happened in places with big locust problems
It's happen in india last year but we don't eat locust we use them for chicken feed
If you're too grossed out by the locusts, just kill them and turn them into some really nice fertilizers and feed.
Hilariously, this is probably the reason locusts are considered the only insect thats kosher in judaism, since if it eats all of your crops you dont really have a choice
Thats all non-vegetarian food in general :l
As a mexican I can confirm that insects have some original flavours. It's not in our main diet but you can find them easily looking for bolder culinary options.
As a Mexican the only insect that i ever eat was a Chapulin and taste nice

Yeah, that's fair. Snail is way more edible to me when diced up. Hell, ANYTHING is way more edible to me when cut up instead of feeling its dead eyes staring at me.

I once had to proctor a test for a nutritional studies professor who'd brought in a bag of cricket-flour cookies for her class to try. She looked a little bummed that so few people wanted to try them, so I went up and gave it a shot to embolden more people. It really isn't bad! The chitin flakes definitely stick in your mouth a little bit, kinda like the papery outside of peanuts, but the flavor is like sunflower seeds.

my thoughts exactly
I feel like this shoulda been an April 1st video..
Seeing a bug on the floor before: "Gross, kill it!" Seeing a bug on the floor now: "Mmmm, didn't know free snacks were given out here!"
How many neurons you burned making that comment.. I wonder
Exactly my mentality after seeing this.
Make sure to bug spray it first to kill those pathogens before eating them. *wink
Yep...
This reminds me of YanSim: "Free food? Sure I'll take one."
Every bug he pulls out, he has to say “These are so delicious”

You say that, but I promise you've eaten something with a similar flavor profile and weren't bothered, so if you got over the mental block, you'd be fine. I felt the same way, but at this point, I've eaten snails and crickets myself. Crickets, when fried and flavored with things like 'salt and vinegar' or 'cheese powder' honestly just taste like tiny potato chips. Same crunch, no lie. As for snails, I swear to you, they taste SO MUCH like clams. If you like clam chowder at all, and if someone made it with snails without telling you, you wouldn't think anything of it.
One thing they don’t mention is that if you’re allergic to arthropods like shrimp, crab, and lobster, insects like crickets will trigger your allergy.
The More you Know 🌈
They mentioned it in the description
He literally mention that those were the same... so anyonw who have brain should've know that it triggers the allergy bruh...

In Brazil we do have some insects in our culinary, mainly the queen ant "tanajura" abdomen fried in a farofa. Actually, I tried crickets once on a research, where they were repeating the testings (us trying crickets) on different places around the world to see the acceptance of people around consuming insects. The crickets would be better with seasoning, cause without them they taste like dog food.
Tanajura é muito bom. Meu Deusss ❤

For everybody commenting about how they don’t dislike the idea, and the benefits make eating insects worth it, but being scared of bugs, it is worth noting that what he did with crickets already has another use. Grinding crickets up into a powder allows them to be used as flour, and then baked into a protein-rich bread. It’s a great way to consume insects without knowing it’s insects!
Yeah I'm scared of insects I would never eat some while knowing
People already eat bugs without even realizing it. Shrimp are basically cockroaches of the sea!
* *visible disgust* *

I think grinding them into a powder and putting them in any kind of sauce would be effective. Like spaghetti sauce

Imagine our kids or grandchildrens hearing about us eating cows or pork and then said "wow that's weird" while eating a bowl of roasted crickets. Yeah insects is the future delicacy

@@meingoobby8231 what is that
The other way round. They’re easy to farm, so if we continue destroying the planet industrial farms might have to switch to insects
I'm so sorry, Chef Joseph seems so delightful, and the food actually looked very good, but this is my worst nightmare.
@Sonia Escalada I think it could easily happen
@Sonia Escalada debatable, alot of people wouldn't have any issue with it minus the stigma of gross bugs, it doesn't need to replace other meat completely either. Also invertebrates that are hairy can easily be de-hairyfied.
@Sonia Escalada you can make them fast for a time before distributing, which will flush their inards of waste.
@Sonia Escalada people don’t really seem to have a problem consuming shrimp, oyster, clam, or other small seafood crap though. The only people that *do* complain about the poop are the people who refuse to eat it and use the poop as an excuse
it’s going to be a million years before I’m willing to eat BUGS😭
Eating bugs is definitely something I'd try if I was given the opportunity. It definitely seems like the mental aspect is what makes it difficult, and not really actually eating the bugs.

I love how this dude is living his truth unapologetically
Lmfao
669 lol
I don’t get why people say “your truth” there’s just the Truth no?
The phrase "his truth" and/or "my truth" clearly tell me that it's not actually true So people talk about how bugs have an amazing amount of protein compared to meat or other foods, the way we ESTIMATE protein in food is by nitrogen content. Bugs, by mass, contain a huge amount of chitin, the exoskeletons of crickets and the skin of worms and stuff, and chitin is a polysaccharide with amine groups attached, so it's got a pile of nitrogen in it. It is completely indigestible and it's NOT protein. Some may say the people measuring protein content wouldn't make that mistake, but obviously we can't trust them to accurately represent their findings, they're the people telling you to eat boogs after all. Incidentally, chitin is an antigen in humans, it causes an immune reaction because the body uses its presence to infer a parasite or a yeast infection, so whilst it won't inherently "give you" cancer or any other disease, eating lots of chitin would very likely reduce your immune response to other illnesses.
@@QTwoSix dude people have been eating bugs since the dawn of humanity ofc some are bad for us but im sure there are healthy bugs to eat.
Just one note: when Chef Yoon says that scorpions are not insects, but arthropods, like shrimps, I would like to say that both insects and crustaceans are arthropods, and scorpions are, in fact, arachnids, and belong to the phylum arthropods as well.

Insects do tend to have a somewhat nutty flavor profile though. They're not all the same. Like, you wouldn't confuse an almond for a walnut. But there is that kind of earthy-woody quality that gives nuts their flavor, which insects share. Its legit food, if you can shake off your cultural biases.

You should do a method mastery named 'How to grind every herb and spice'. It would showcase the way to grind, grate or powder the spice or herb. The tools used could include a grater, grinder, microplane and others. Then what you would use that spice for.
That could be an idea for the next episode

This would also include what does most of the good for and how to use them. I want to add more spices and more variety in my cooking but I literally have no idea where to start and what to do with them. And I don’t wanna start throwing in random spaces and ruining food. But I also can’t seem to find any like, usable pieces of information that help me understand what kind of spices go and what kind of foods or flavors

Honestly, yeah- I'm convinced. It's a little hard to find many of these but crickets and ants were two you had me more excited for and those were pretty easy to order in food grade quality. I have to admit, being someone who doesn't even like jello - bamboo worms are something I'm still going to decline but the rest of these? Yep, would definitely be inclined to at least try if properly prepared
I find that there is such a stigma against bugs that even though I want to eat them, I am compulsively disgusted by them. With that being said, I find the spread of knowledge on how to eat these bugs is unbelievably important for sustainability.
This is what I've been thinking too. It may be how the idea of being disgusted by insects are normalized, and now its hard to want to eat them even though that tarantula tempura looks amazing
Know turn them into a product that dosent show or let then know and you may have formula for success
Honestly, I genuinely wanna try all kinds of food at least once, including bugs, but coming from a poor and abusive home, bugs being in food normally means that food is bad, and when you've been forced to eat weevils or you've seen maggots all over your kitchen as a child then it gets hard to get over the idea of eating bugs and it is something that grosses me out a lot, I hope it's something I can get over in the future cuz I find this genuinely interesting
Couldn't have articulated that any better myself!
I love friend crickets but I couldn't see this being a normal food for me
before: oh a bug kill it with fire now: oh a bug, cook it on medium heat and add tomato paste
Let me know when I should come over for dinner!
Me before: oh a bug let's pet it
@@sanfourd5856 you pet bugs?
@@Hugo_Balls08 yeah?
Klaus schwab when he sees this: 🤯rut-row! 🤪AWOOOGA!😍clean up on isle my pants!

3:20 fun fact Insects, scorpions, spiders, crabs are all arthropods but belong to different classes. Insects - insecta Spiders and scorpions - arachnida Crabs and shrimps - crustacea.
Technically yes but they are still more closely related than other insects and stuff
@@anthraxmacabre5200 eh, not really. simple way to tell is that spiders and scorpions have 4 pair of legs, where adult insects only have 3 pairs, hence the group name "Hexapods" Arthropods have mainly 4 groups Insects (Hexapods); Myriapods (including centipedes and millipedes); Arachnids (including spiders, mites and scorpions); Crustaceans (including slaters, prawn and crabs). Spiders are not related to crabs nor other insects, if it relates to anything it relates to scorpions.
@@thehomiejw6714 Thanks for sharing
@@thehomiejw6714 I appreciate the simple facts
Hello. Can people be allergic to eating arachnida or insecta like some people are allergic to crustacea?
The best part about this episode is how passionate Joseph is for eating bugs, making them delicious and less intimidating, and his epic tie; 10/10.
Thank you soo much, I appreciate you!
I'm waiting for the rest of the SNL cast to show up any second.
Im not eating ze bugs, Klaus Schwab
Yes you will, what are you going to do about? Obviously you can’t stop them.
