A slightly toasted greenfly has just fallen out of my desk spotlight. For a laugh, I thought I'd eat it :eek:

It wasn't too bad - a bit crispy and the wings were a bit chewy, but the whole thing tasted a bit eggy :o :confused::eek:

I'd do it again, I think. I had some cheese afterwards, to try and hide the texture/taste.

Anyone else done anything quite as stupendously stupid?
 
No but a swallowed a fly when I was on my bike once. It went straight to the back of my throat at like 100mph and was stuck there. I couldn't cough it up so I had to swallow it :eek::(.

Do this about once a week... It's not even a big deal...
