I have actually. To bring myself closer to a certain culture, crickets taste like sunflower seeds and are actually very healthy. Trust me bugs don't actually taste that bad.
It's the look of them that's worse... If they didn't look like crickets, people wouldn't have a problem with them... Could you grind them up and use them as flour maybe?
Other wise,i'll take a flame broiled whopper instead of sautéd grub worms any day..
I've eaten crickets, meal worms and ants. The worm was inside a sucker, and the crickets were just baked.
I didn't mind them at all
They tasted like chocolate. :^D
