Why Not Eat Insects? by Vincent M Holt published 1885

https://www.google.de/books/edition/Why_Not_Eat_Insects/awNbAAAAQAAJ?hl=de&gbpv=1&dq=inauthor:%22Vincent+M.+Holt%22&printsec=frontcover

a section from the book mentioned in the toot. "can any one who has ever gulped down the luscious oyster alive at three-and-sixpence per dozen, turn up his nose and shudder at the clean-feeding and less repulsive-looking snail? The lobster, a creature consumed in incredible quanitities at all the highest tables in the land, is such a foul feeder that, for its sure capture, the experienced fisherman will bait his lobster-pot with putrid flesh or fish which is too far gone even to attract a crab. And yet, if at one of those tables there appeared a well-cooked dish of clean-feeding slugs, the hardiest of the guests would shrink from tasting it."
