    Granted, water bugs have LEAGUES more meat on their exoskeletons then their land based counterparts.

    Like that feels a bit weird to size comparison a centipede and a lobster, which is like 30 times it’s size.

      Call it by its name. They are salty.

      The ocean flavor can be achieved with dry algae put on water.

    I’m squeamish about bugs or water bugs.

    I also have a tough time eating animals after I see someone clean it.

    Do I wish someone would make a grasshopper burger that wouldn’t get chitin stuck between my teeth so I could eat more protein with a lot more of a clear conscious? Hell yeah.

      Some people dry them and grind them into powder. Quite tasty actually.

    Never had a problem with most insects. I can’t say I have ever had anything along the lines of worms, but I wouldn’t be opposed.

    Grasshoppers and bee larvae are both normal foods in my country, the younger generation doesn’t really eat them much but you can definitely find them around. Usually older-style drinking establishments. They’re good.

    Silkworm pupae are the absolute best drinking snack and I will die on this hill. Give me a cup of beondegi and beer and I am good for the night.

    Calling them the same doesn’t make them the same.

      I like fried shrimp, like the small ones in fried rice, but crabs and lobsters have always been a no for me. It’s not even that I think they’re gross, I just don’t want to eat them.

    I’ve had scorpion before. I’d eat crickets if they were prepped right. Grasshoppers, too.
