Entomophagy (eating insects)

Post Reply New Topic

Would you? Do you?

I would, just out of curiosity.

I figure that if I eat prawns and other invertebrates, I might as well eat grasshoppers.

80% of the world's countries eat insects! You've almost certainly accidentally eaten them on fruit and veg, anyway.

My grandmother used to cook ants. I don't like the taste .I always refused to eat them.

I've no aversion to eating insects. If I saw one on my lettuce I would set it free back into the wild though.

But if someone served me a plate of crispy critters ready cooked, I'd give it a go.

I've accidentally swallowed flies, does that count?

Apparently insects have a slight nutty taste, so if you're allergic to nuts yet you love their taste, then insects are the obvious substitute. And another bonus is you don't need a nutcracker to crack them open

I've eaten them accidentally, but I would take the opportunity to eat a cooked one, probably.

If I were in the right state of mind for it, sure, but right now it doesn't appeal to me. :/ I've eaten escargot, though, which tastes like shiitake mushrooms.

I've done it, and so have most people that eat red colored candy. They use beetles for the color.

Funny thing is I always say I wanna eat a bug but IDK if I really would lol some of them look yummy haha!

I think I can eat just about anything until cheese started bugging me recently.

i have eaten witchetty grubs and honey ants before.

Give me a plate of fried... whatever bugs are good fried, and I'd give it a shot, might not get past one though
