Sorry Masha, but I'm not getting the connection between that old idiom I used earlier "as cute as a bug's ear" and with the idea of something being edible???
The phrase is not in question.
You stated: "...to graze upon that actress..."
The most common definitions for that word are: "to eat small amounts of food periodically throughout the day" and: "scratching or injuring lightly".
I believe that you are sufficiently an old-school gentleman that you would not willingly hurt a lady and so the second definition is moot.
That leaves me with only the recourse that you agree with the philosophy expressed in: Motel Hell (1980): "Meat's meat, and man's gotta eat!" and wish to process her into snacks.

Oh, NOW I get it!
LOL
I must have reread that sentence of mine at least three times and still missed recognizing my typo there.
Thanks for the clarification, as I was beginning to think that there might be some kind of hors d'oeuvres out there named "bugs ears" I had never heard of!
(...wouldn't have suprised me none if there were, and considering there are already things called "pu pu platters" being served at parties across the globe, right?!)

I think that's one bug movie I haven't seen! Giant Slugs?????
TCM has shown this film starring Tim Holt (in one of this final film roles) and of course the previously mentioned (and as I said, the "cute as a bug's ear") Audrey Dalton a few times in the past, Hibi. I think I ran across their previous showing of it within the past two years or so.
It's actually not badly made at all, and in my view deserves a higher rating than the 5.7 that the IMDb website here has given it:

Thanks to all for solving this mystery. I also wondered if bug's ear was a slang term for a type of food!

Well, in November, Dargo could fest his eyes on a 50 foot smorgasbord.
I believe that the physics might prove a bit daunting.

Those are some serious drumsticks.
tom thumb plays in November too.
Imagine 50 feet versus 6 inches.
I'm afraid your post calls to mind a couple of lines from Mae West:
Guess I should have expected that, plus it's funny.
My point, a 50 foot woman and a 6 inch man.
That's all I'm gonna say.

My original intent was tom is 6 inches tall versus a 50 foot (600) inches tall female.
Thinking something not appropriate for a family forum isn't beyond me, but not what you think.
I used lower case for tom thumb, which is how I thought it was.
Not sure how I stumbled on that but I was wrong.
I do want to see Tom Thumb again but not the other one.
Sounds quite lame.
