When tasting the cockroach milk on air got cut for my bug segment due to concerns from Safety Steve, I had to part with the cockroach milk.
Temporarily, I hope.
One day, I hope to get to taste it.
Currently, there are two tiny vials of this cockroach milk.
They're in the bug freezer in the entomology department at the wonderful American Museum of Natural History in New York.
And if you work there, don't drink my cockroach milk in the office fridge.
Sadly, it is too far away from my mouth right now.
Bummer.
And I...
Was crossing my fingers so hard.
We were set to be able to taste some of this cockroach milk.
You guys worked so hard.
And...
obtained a sample of a few milliliters for us.
But can you describe sort of the consistency when this is in a small vial?
PBS is lab speak essentially for saline solution.
How have you never tasted it?
If I had had access to this, I was ready to taste this on national television.
I couldn't wait to get a drop of it.
But you've never tasted it?
