I eat spiders AND seafood - spiders taste like crab. BTW - they aren't insects, they're Arthropods.

I haven't looked lately to see if my supermarket still carries them. It's doubtful.
My local Albertson's carries Sweet Sue canned whole chicken. I get into the mood on occasion so I keep some in the house. It's expensive to very expensive on Amazon, but there are a number of good reviews.

Whole canned chicken is actually very good. It especially goes well with Vegemite and Haggis.

Yeah ...... manufacturers do have advertising employees who write out glowing reviews. On any ratings page, it's best to disregard the best and the worst reviews.

I wouldn't mind trying it. Probably not much difference taste wise from smaller canned chicken parts.

I must say that canned chicken, particularly whole chicken, never crossed our doorway as a child or as an adult.

There's a huge difference in taste and texture between canned whole chicken and the smaller cans of boneless chicken breast, which are quite a bit like tuna in texture, though more expensive.

But by all means, experiment!
