I see chocolate covered crickets, etc, for sale some times, I just wondered who eats this stuff??

Anyone tried any insects before? My SIL tried some fried grasshoppers, didnt really like em that much.

The closest Ive gotten was rattlesnake, which was actually quite good!

I've eaten tons of flying bugs. I've been riding a motorcycle for over 40 years.

I was persuaded to try cheesy mealworms by a friend once and actually they're very nice. They taste just like cheesy puffs. If you didn't know otherwise you'd never tell the difference.

I quite liked Crickets, grasshoppers,ants and grubs but just could not face eating spider ( being arachnophobic I felt really quite sick !).

I always crack up when I see Jim Carrey in the movie Me, Myself and Irene get off his scooter with all those bugs in his teeth. Been there done that
