Having carefully considered the matter, I think scorpion soup probably tastes like lobster bisque.
Way back in grad school, like maybe around 2012ish, I got together with a group of friends and drove to Maine in late May to spend a week in a rented vacation home. My impression of Maine is that it: (a) is very cold, even in May, (b) is filled with Dunkin Donuts, and indeed (c) has very good lobsters. We drove around and ate lobster every single day, and I have no regrets. I actually haven't eaten lobster since then, because there's no way it could be as delicious.
As an aside, it's wild that you could do something like that just ten years ago, even as a grad student with no money. It sucks that everything has become so expensive in the United States, because I'd really like to see more of the country outside the big cities.
Anyway, while I wish Belurat's culture weren't built on a foundation of torture, I think they might be onto something when it comes to scorpion soup.
