[QUOTE="TAFKAP, post: 5630433, member: 7776"] The reason people cook their veggies first, then add the bugs at the end is twofold. First, the onions and garlic will add flavor. When you drop the bugs in boiling water, the temp will drop. Keep the flame burning until it comes back to a boil. This cooks the bugs adequately, and ensures the potatoes and corn are done and soft. Cooling the water down (I've seen 2L bottles of water frozen into ice blocks) will let them soak without further cooking. This enhances the flavor, makes it so everything is hot, but not scalding. Dump everything and start your next batch. It'll take that long for everyone to go through the first batch, instead of making a giant mountain at the front end and letting flies settle in and making a huge mess. [/QUOTE]
