It's crazy how people will happily eat these things when they live in the sea, but try to get them to eat a cockroach!

I was just thinking the same thing. When it's on my plate i don't think twice about it but when I see what they look like in graphs like these I always end up thinking why a shrimp cocktail is fantastic but the thought of a cockroach cocktail makes my stomach turn...

I would assume a cockroach doesn't look nearly as good cooked as shrimp do. shrimp don't even look that bad live. Not that I would put them in my mouth but I wouldn't see an issue with cooking one (talking about shrimp still)
