    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.

    Yes and yes and I would eat more if my wife didn't threaten to leave me if I started farming them.

    Edit: accepting tips from anyone who has experience hiding entomophagy from one's spouse.

        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.

    Crickets are fine. Also just accidentally caught a fly in my throat the other day while cycling. That was less fine.

    not on purpose, but I spend enough time outside that it's inevitable. better they fly in my mouth than my nose though, that's the worst die

    we stopped at a weird candy store on a road trip a few years ago and found a bunch of bug candy but didn't try any

    they also had a lot of bulk candies, from old fashioned stuff to jelly bellys, niche snacks from different parts of the country, and the largest variety of dried vegetation and flesh I've ever seen. it was horrifyingly fascinating.

        When I was a kid I had a bearded dragon and I dared my best friend to eat one of his mealworms and with out hesitation he grabbed one and ate it. He said it wasn't bad

    When I was really young I was at someone else's house, there were these tiny little bugs that crawled up the wall, and I just, for seemingly no reason other than curiosity, grabbed them and put them in my mouth. They started tasting bad after a while, kinda like charcoal, but for some reason I couldn't stop, I just kept putting the bugs in my mouth.
