Dear NZ community, I am not sure if you are aware but we Germans currently are mystified by a phenomenon that was described by a participant of the show “7 vs wild” (which can be found on YouTube and Amazon Freevee). The concept of this years show was to drop off 7 Germans near Lake Hāwea in a staged plane crash scenario and let them fend for their own for 14 days. This was filmed in May I think and temperatures were around 0 degree celcius. As this years edition of this show was a group format you got all kinds of drama. So when one participant, who was dissatisfied with the chosen location of the shelter, suggested another spot he proclaimed he had found crickets (chirping on the frozen grass) that would taste like popcorn if roasted over a fire. The whole 7vswild sub here on Reddid is involved in a heated discussion if this was a fib of his imagination or if the wonders of NZ wildlife indeed include frost-resistant winter crickets. Please enlighten us.
