I've eaten cooked bugs before, properly prepared, it's pretty good
Can't remember what kind of bug it was specifically, but I do remember it was fried
I've eaten multiple types of insects. All but one (giant water bug, tasted way too much like juniper, which I hate) have been decent. Ants are kind of citrusy because of the formic acid. Meal worms and the beetle larvae I had were kind of nutty. The crickets I had were the style they do in Oaxaca, Mexico, which is fried with chile and lime, so it's basically just crunchy chili lime flavor.
Incidentally, you can get cricket flour, which is exactly what it sounds like. You can either use it as a flour substitute (it also has a nutty flavor) or blend it with plant-based flours and use it in a standard baking recipe either way. And you won't get little legs stuck in your teeth or anything.
Small crickets maybe? I haven't had them in years but they're delicious with the right seasoning.
They seemed to be a common enough ingredient in tacos for the short while I was in Mexico. They are pretty good.
Yeah the ones I had were in Mexico. So crunchy and good with salt, lime, and chili.
Sounds about right, I keep thinking Cockroaches, but I'd be too grossed out about those bastards so it was probably crickets lol
I would never eat a fucking cockroach. Disgusting things.
It occurred to me while playing Helldivers that all the bugs we were killing would probably taste like crab after boiling.
puts on bib and grabs the shell crackers
Hmm. Deep rock too probably.
edit: ok fuck whoever posted that fake PNG

Steam crabs, don't boil them
Every time I look at the hive guards after killing them, I think how delicious they look.
I want to eat the hive guards. For democracy.
蛯 (Japanese "Ebi") = prawn. 蛯 (Simple Chinese "Lao") = cricket.
They juicy bugs though, not as juicy as lobsters though
What flavor is the cake?
Chicken.
Is this one a lie, too?
Truth is subjective 🙏
I've been trained to not trust cake.
People and fish are more closely related than shrimp and insects
People are fish and shrimp is bugs
People, fish, shrimp, and bugs are worms.

Very similar to cock roaches. At least taste wise.
Eric?
