Have you ever eaten insects?

Any insect?
Cricket? Cockroaches? etc
If you have tried it, what do they taste like? How did you get past the disgust?
Also, where were you when you tried it?

in my entomology class we had a big cook out full of insects on one of the last days of class.
they taste really good when seasoned and cooked well.
mealworms, crickets, all kinds of other larvae, scorpions, some flies, grasshoppers, and a bunch of other shit i cant even remember.
theyre all kinda unique though. it depends on what you eat. if its a big insect it tends to be more juicy (which sounds gross) but in reality theyre all kinda good.
you just have to keep an open mind. the worst part is if you dont chew well enough and you get exoskeleton stuck to the back of your throat.

I ate a jumping spider once, purely by accident (as I love the little guys).
But I absorbed his soul and now I'm a lot more awesome than I used to be.

bugs are also more efficient at producing protein than cattle.
100lbs of feed makes 10lbs of beef.
100lbs of feed makes 45lbs of crickets.

Yeah, there's these little green ants all over Australia that you can eat, word is that their really healthy. A bunch of aboriginal guys said that crushing a nest of them (make their nests on leaves) and inhaling the fumes would clear your nose up. Smells like sticking your nose in a jar of mustard.

A grasshopper and a cricket both on a dare when I was camping with some friends. The grasshopper was terrible like grass and dirt, crickets on the other hand taste like what they eat. My cricket was a bait cricket and had been eating orange peels so it tasted like oranges. $100 makes the taste and crunch bareable though.

I think theres an untapped market for bugs in america. Most people of course would be weirded out but thee are enough hipsters to make this worthwhile. Could be like soymilk. Gotta start setting the trends.

live crickets taste like almonds to me. the only things that sucked was their legs getting stuck between my teeth and nobody paid me for it.

i wish i had the psychology to be able to eat insects without being grossed out. unfortunately it's too deeply ingrained in my conditioning to cringe whenever i imagine one being near my mouth

I'm always like "Man people who bitch about shit they wouldn't eat is annoying"
I.E. I don't like when people "don't like the taste of bananas". Wtf? To me that's a person that has too much food available to them.
I knew that people ate bugs, but thinking about it grosses me the fuck out. I'll never condemn someone for not liking bananas again.
