Suggestion to replace the current image by this. In the current it's both hard to see the scorpion and not entirely clear that it's going to be eaten and not just say, studied.

SUP WILLLBBEYRR!!! HOW U DOIN?????

Aside from a fat kid eating a scorpion which is a delicacy in of itself, how is the incumbent image an example of "Bad people thus eat the meat of exotic animals, especially those that are endangered."

I don't know where the pic is from or who is the person or what?

I like the suggestion.

I don't think there's anything bad about eating a scorpion. A unicorn on the other hand would be very bad to eat.

OP suggestion is better, although I didn't notice the horn the first time.

Wait, this trope is just for things evil people eat, not just weird dishes?

Well I'm not entirely sure but the closest I can come up with was the Spider Queen lady in Farscape eating the pretty eyeballs of space travelers...

But I'm not sure if she ate them or she simply pluck them out and added to her collection we don't exactly see.

Voting to pull the current, regardless of replacement...you have to squint to see the chopsticks in the current and the caption doesn't help at all.

The OP suggestion is way better than the current, that's for sure.

Voting in favour of OP suggestion and against the current image.

I also prefer the suggestion to the current.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

Alright, the suggestion is up and tagged; source and caption?

[up] Yes, the pic is from MTG...the page quote is actually the flavor text from that particular card.

No caption discussion for a while; locking this.
