    It wouldn’t be weird to land bugs if they had that tasty meat crustaceans do. I’m big for alternative sources of protein like bugs, but the fact is they taste like shit.

        Ate fried bugs. Can confirm they aren’t tasty at all.

        Everything is tasty with some salt/the right spice.

      If there were 2lb spiders that taste like lobster roaming around on land I would sure as fuck be out in the woods with a net every weekend.

      I have it on pretty good authority of the film Snowpiercer that bug bars are delicious.

      Nah, taste is fine. It’s the texture that’s weird

        agreed. ive had crickets at a local restaurant and once when i went to ecuador i had these giant roasted termites. both were well prepared and tasted good, but they also both (the termites in particular) had a bad texture and had pieces that just didn’t want to get swallowed. like if popcorn had 200% more kernel.
