Prepare to be both amazed and disgusted as a man recently shared a video on Facebook of himself devouring a plate of "cockroach omelette" and raving about its flavour.
In the video, he boldly declares that cockroaches are not only tasty but also low in fat, making them a healthy choice. Unsurprisingly, this bizarre act sparked a heated discussion among internet users.
According to reports, the man initially posted a photo of his unusual dish in a Facebook group dedicated to peculiar foods. However, his post was met with scepticism from a doubter who accused him of faking it.
To prove his point, the man uploaded a video where he proudly presented a plate of cockroach omelette, adding more cockroaches for an authentic taste experience.
He started by placing a female cockroach in his mouth, claiming that he didn't use excessive seasoning and that the dish was almost flavourless due to the addition of only spring onions.
With no hesitation, he proceeded to devour the omelette, comparing the taste to shrimp with its shell on.
The man clarified that these were Dubia cockroaches that he personally bred, fed with chicken feed, and occasionally supplemented with fruit peels.
As they bred excessively, he found it challenging for his pets to consume them all. However, he emphasized the importance of maintaining cleanliness and ensuring safe breeding practices.
The video has sparked a flurry of discussion among netizens, with many expressing astonishment at the man's audacity. While it is not uncommon to find people who consume insects, witnessing someone eat a cockroach remains a first for many.
