No, they aren't edible. Adopt children instead and teach them to eat insects.

Your joke was current ... circa 1600 so I have read. Even if more an impresario than an actor of playwright ... still good stuff.

I sometimes wonder who the folks of 2400 will remember as great authors and playwrights of our age. We would probably cringe if we knew.
