Good thought 😌

You must not use good pepper corns then if you can’t tell the difference between pepper and dead beetles.
These are very good dead beetles. Please don’t compare them to peppercorns.
At 50% percentage, the peppercorn grinder becomes a beetle grinder full of peppercorns.
There’s a very exact ratio where the average person wouldn’t notice. I imagine it’s higher than you’d think
How much sawdust can you put in a rice crispy treat before someone notices?
It wasn’t very much, if I remember that video well. Even the lowest amount they tested had them say they could tell a difference. Now, if they had not eaten a treat in a while, maybe you could get away with that lowest amount, but…
You didn’t have to write this you know.
When you cross that threshold, you’ve just got Grape Nuts.
Even more, the off brand Nutty Nuggets.
These are spicy 🔥 beetles!
I briefly worked ina health food bar factory that focused on raw or at least fresh ingredients. You are 100% eating bug parts.
Scientists who work with cockroaches often develop an allergy to them, which leads to them being allergic to ground coffee. Whole bean coffee is still okay. The difference is how likely you are to grind up a cockroach vs. a commercial coffee grinder. One of many sources.
Welp, that’s a thing I didn’t want to learn
Where can I find large quantities of dried beetles? Asking for a friend.
Anywhere, where you can get insects as food. There are dedicated online shops and the only other place I’ve ever found them IRL was a camping/outdoors supplier, they are a very light source of protein. That’s in the EU though, don’t know how insect food is regulated wherever you live.
I never bought it though, I found it pretty expensive, don’t really need it, and I’m a vegetarian anyways. I have tried them at a museum once, though. Pretty unspectacular if you ask me, a bit nutty in taste but also quite dry. I prefer actual nuts as a snack.
Yes officer, this one right here
I’ve got one of those smell designer rabbits (don’t worry, she’s a rescue) and her turds are about the size of peppercorns
I don’t use pepper but I use Himalayan crystal salt so your point stands, there could be decent amount of dead Buddhist monks there.
(I guess I’ll have to be checking from now on.)
To be fair, anyone eating normal salt could in fact be consuming the remains of Lot’s wife.

Dammit, I have those. Now I need to find enough beetles to fill it. Do you know how long that is going to take?
Depends on if you buy them in bulk or hunt them down one by one.
is your point to have the grinder so small that you can basically observe every individual seed in it to check if it’s not a beetle?
Also: Fly eggs look very similar to rice
“Who put Natural Red #4 in my pepper grinder?”
mine are acrilic, I’d see i am wise to your wiley ways op!
I think I’d notice, because I look at the food I’m eating. I suppose ground beetles look different enough from ground pepper.
But I also have a bit of a biology background, so YMMV.
(Also taste, but I don’t know as much about that. Maybe there are pepper beetles, I don’t know about. But there are definitely some poisonous ones I’d rather avoid. )
Congratulations, you’re the inaugural entry in my “people not to have over for dinner” list.
