Fried meal worms are nutty tasting and quite delicious, the only grasshoppers I have eaten were too dry and had little taste. I would like to revisit the hoppers and try some fresher ones with a bit of juice left in them. I would also love to try some sago grubs, they look like they might be tasty.

I'll pass, thanks. Insects may be food. But to me...strictly last ditch survival food.

But I'm not going to go bashing those who like it.

Yeah, why not? I've eaten meal worm, crickets, snails & it was fine.

Don't forget, cochineal is used in a wide variety of food & drink products. You may have tried insect without knowing!

"The taste (of insects) is unique and tasty, similar to crab and shrimp. For instance, giant water beetles taste like crab, while grasshoppers taste like shrimp."

I wanna know what bugs taste like chicken.

I've heard of people eating cockroaches. If you can eat a cockroach, probably you can eat shirako too.
