I tried cooking a cockroach tonight. Well, I didn’t really try; it was more an accidental event.

We were preparing for a barbecue at home and after lifting the cover a cockroach crawled into the grill. Juliet wasn’t worried, she thought it might add some “flavor”. I think she was joking, but we both believed the roach would sizzle.

I was curious to find out though, because I’ve heard that cockroaches are the only creatures to survive nuclear explosions.

And so it was. Forty minutes later, while the sausages and chops were sizzling, the roach made its escape from the fiery depths.
