Did you like it?
A friend brought back spiced fried grasshoppers from Mexico when I was in high school. I recall them being a nice savory flavor but very heavily spiced, I liked them. Also have had fried crickets from a bag, they tasted like popcorn. Wouldn’t eat again cuz I don’t eat animals these days
In first grade we had someone come in and let us try some indigenous foods. I forget all of them except the witchetty grub.
I don’t rrecall liking it much. Green ant butts were better.
People keep telling me green ants are yummy
I won’t suggest trying any due to since gained ethical positions, but I will say they’re sour and tangy in a way I liked as a kid.
Oh I don’t plan to eat any, don’t worry
I have eaten lobster and crab so yes
mealworms and stuff, nothing interesting. Always tasted fine
Chapulines (fried crickets) in a taco in Mexico. They were pretty good, but almost every taco at that place was amazing, so maybe it’s more about the person making the tacos than the actual filling.
Whomst among us hasn’t eaten a few ants as a kid? Suprisingly a little spicy
That kick is from the formic acid!
I wonder what Tarantula Hawks taste like
Probably neither tarantulas nor hawks if I had to guess.
Had some pan fried crickets that weren’t terrible
A girl I was in love with in the 3rd grade ate ants so naturally to be cool so did I.
I’ve had roasted cricket tacos in Mexico before, and they’re fantastic. They have a great crunch.
Intentionally? No.
Statistically? Probably.Yes and yes and I would eat more if my wife didn’t threaten to leave me if I started farming them.

Which bug tho. What did it taste like?
I’ve had mealworms and cricket flour. If you toast them meal worms taste like sunflower seeds, cricket flour tastes like whatever you bake it into, there isn’t really any noticeable flavor.
Ate mopane worms before, they were alright I guess, though I mostly tasted the sauce they were served in. Added a nice crunch though, which could be really nice or really disgusting depending on your perspective.
I ate a stinkbug accidentally. I don’t recommend it. Dry and blandly bitter before the stank kicks in
Crickets are fine. Also just accidentally caught a fly in my throat the other day while cycling. That was less fine.
An ant as kid was acidic as expected, as i remember
