- 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 - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
![อาจารย์ยอด : ลุงแว่วเล่าเรื่องผี [ผี]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Fd2Qsy4dqpM/mqdefault.jpg)
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!
Timone and Pumba have prepared me for this moment

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.

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
Things I learned from this video:
Black ants zesty
Bug appetit
Worms are not actually worms
If can eat sea bug, why can't eat land bug
No no no no
add to that all arthropods taste like shrimp
@@sarbarthamukherjee5477 bruh you wouldn't eat bugs
dont forget that its healthier for the environment :) theres a company called Eat Bugs that makes some blandish chips that go good with dips
@@Lilythreedee I mean, if someone told you that the meat that you're eating was decomposing for 30 days, youd think they're crazy for letting you eat it. Until you learned that another more popular term is called dry age. We don't eat something that we have preconceived notions about. That's why this guy is trying to break those notions.
Crickets are the only bug I’ve ever eaten but I actually really liked how they tasted. I kinda want to try more bugs now.
I don't think I have ever heard insects described like this. Wow. I didn't have anything against eating them before, but I never heard someone describe the flavor profiles!
Honestly, I'm 100% ok with eating bugs, as long as my eyes can't register that it is indeed a bug. I can know it's a bug and be perfectly fine, but the second I see a leg or feel a wing on my tongue, it's game over
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.
exactly
Yep, i don't mind eating bugs if someone's turning it into nugget or burger tbh 😂
@@totenkopf28 and didnt tell you that its a bug ofc 😂
Or when the guts shoot into your mouth when you take the first bite with your molars
I’m trying so hard to be open minded right now
😭
Yeah even tho my brain is disgusted I'm actively trying to push it down
I mean, I'd be willing to try if it wasn't in a bug-like form. The macaroni staff he had for the crickets looked alright (before he added the whole crickets). Baby steps, I suppose. It would take a while to get anyone to eat a whole tarantula
@@fawnajohnson6130 I wouldn't mind the crickets tbh but the spiders and maggots hell nah 💀
Crickets taste like sunflower seeds if that helps
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.
As an online stranger I thank you for taking the initiative.
@@captaincaption fr this guy seems like a w guy I would never be
Did I really just watch a guy eat bugs at 2 in the morning? Yes. Do I regret it? Partially
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 😂
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."

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 ❤

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.

But no joke mealworms taste like nuts.

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.
I am trying, with every FIBER of my being, to have the world's most open mind but I am finding it INCREASINGLY difficult as this video goes on.

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.
I wish I learn this in school
Thank you so much!
@@agentkirifuda_shank7071 It come standard with most curriculum. Classification of organism is taught in year 7 and again in year 10.

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😭
My middle school did an event where students brought in different dishes that incorporated various insects. It was an awesome experience and opened me up to these sorts of things so I really enjoyed the vid! Super cool stuff
A really popular food at gas stations where I live is lollipops with crickets in them. I’ve also gotten chocolate covered scorpions at the same gas stations
As a latin person, it is funny to hear the "gusano worm" part, it would literally translate to "worm worm"
"Fear the mighty "Worm Worm... worm?" ..."
"Who sanctioned this supervillain again?"

Haha, I know it's strange...we do that with a lot of languages when we translate them, but this is the common way to say it in the US. I also call them chiniquiles or maguey worms depending on who I am speaking with.
How wormy must you be to be considered a worm amongst worms?
I know right
@Fabbius 01 or it can translate to worm gusano.

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 don’t know about you guys but I would literally eat everything this made just made it looks incredibly delicious. Although I never ate insects before.
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.
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
Please pin this we need this
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

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?
Never came this close to being convinced to eat these bugs. Nice presentation and very educational. The chef's enthusiasm and talent has me rethinking my bias against eating land bugs.
He called the eggs pop rocks- help- 2:36
@@nyxthedragon7534 he called the formic acid the ants produce “pop rocks”. only queen ants produce eggs, so there wouldn’t be eggs in the ants he ate. also they’re so small anyway i don’t think you’d notice eggs inside them anyway

Every time I see someone eats an insect, it reminds me of how protein blocks were made in the snowpiercer movie
Can't wait when they start introducing human meat!
The train in Snowpiercer sorely missed this guy in food prep
every insect is this guys favorite
i swear every insects he's eaten always has the "nuttiness" in it
A pinch of "funkyiness"
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.
Everything seems to be delicious as well 😂
It tastes like tree bark to me
He likes the nut taste
Usually when someone says bugs are the protein of the future they say it in a very cynical and unhanded way.
You're the first person I've seen who has actually made bugs look appetizing
There use to be a street food stand in London (candem town) that sell all sort of food with insects ... dude the roasted insects themselves had such a nice yummy smell, like you'd never expected it. Hope they are still there.
We’re well on our way to radroach meat kebabs and mirelurk cakes
I think hes just doing that because its a "food/cooking" channel. I think when we do get to the point where we have to be eating bugs it probably wont be for taste it will be for necessity. However crickets with flavor powder on them arent the worst thing once you get over the legs in your teeth.

Birds also will hold live ants in their beak and let the ants spray formic acid on different parts of their body. I think its either to deal with parasites or to soothe the skin during molting.

"While we're eating all these sea bugs, why don't we consider eating these land bugs? 😀🤠" Terrified but laughed audibly, love the energy in this entire video 🙏😁
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!

I think grinding them into a powder and putting them in any kind of sauce would be effective. Like spaghetti sauce
imagine eating a corn fritter and being like "mmm are these black beans? :)" and then homeboys like acTUALLY-
Those are fighting words 🤣🤣
Someone tells me i ate bugs im putting my dukes up
I'm squaring up if someone puts bugs in my food. 🤨
I wonder if any of the people who are so vehemently against bugs eat shrimp, lobster, clams, and various other arthropods the only difference being they're aquatic.
@@ryhmetravila8085They're close-minded idiots. Don't mind them.
He’s the type of guy that would complain “theres a food in my bugs”
lol
I am both intrigued and frightened. I'd love to give them a shot and do it with some friends but I think I might be the most open to it of my friends. No way could I get a campus event to feature bugs, really cool though and I hope to try them in your restaurant !
Imagine this dude at the family potluck.
Everyone: "That's awesome how you made the Spider shaped fries"
This dude: 😈🙈🙉🙊
"Wow, good job those spider shaped fries were a real hit."
Him: 😅
I am a bit sceptical about whole insect diet - but - your comment gave me an idea. Those would be realy great at a halloween family gathering - suprise your guests with some fried tarantua!
Imagine this at Halloween
what do you have ?
spider tempuras
oh cool, spider shaped tempura, how you did it ?
... actual spider, tempura
@@CatalinaEX he would be so good at Halloween party good food but scary
Klaus schwab when he sees this: 🤯rut-row! 🤪AWOOOGA!😍clean up on isle my pants!
I never thought id hear mealworms and dessert in the same sentence
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
@Sonia Escalada yah.
I can see that already.. Here in Borneo My father often Cooks Sago Palm Weever aka Butod for Dinner and it taste delicious.. Those Lil fellas are cute too
nope
@@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
Normally I wouldn't even consider eating bugs, but this guy's energy levels are so high that I'd try any of the things he cooked up in this video. If I ever get the chance, maybe I'll give an insect dish a try
They taste nasty bro, trust me lol.
@@ub3rfr3nzy94 have you tried insects before?
@@dylancrozier84 i have its not necessarily nasty its just a really strong veryy strange taste verryyy Strang especially Spiders they tastee reallyy odd not bad odd😂😂
Everyone’s tastes are different and all of the insects seem to taste different too so there’s nothing wrong with giving it a shot! Crickets would probably be a good place to start since it seems like a staple in so many places :)
I used to one, its a roasted larvae from beetle. While they kept destroying our coconuts, we took their child and roast them alive
Satisfaction, yes
Not today, WEF! Not today...
I love how this guy is just making Mac and cheese and burgers out of bugs casually
That is literally the whole idea of how we can best incorporate edible insects into our diets--as a protein supplement in foods that we already know and love! Thanks for watching!
@@BrooklynBugs17 Can you describe whats the closest thing that its taste like
