<< Hummm... I wonder what the vegetarians on our list think of this idea. Are
insects forbidden food? >>

Well, interestingly enough it depends for some no for some yes.  The Jains 
(strict sct of Hindu) wear masks so as not to breath in an insect and kill 
it.  Some even don't walk for fear of killing an insect.  They  vegetables 
that grow under ground for fear of killing an insect.

Where would my like be without Chiles and garlic oh dear me!
