I've had stir-fried grasshopper and barbecue flavored dried mealworms . The grasshoppers tasted like peppers and onions, the worms like barbecue flavoring. No big deal.

I have an extremely similar rule! I'll try any food as long as it is an actual food that some group of people somewhere on the planet consider to be a food. In other words, I won't eat a scoop of pig shit just because someone says "This is food."

I would totally stock my pantry with cricket flour. I can't wait for this stuff to be available for online ordering!

I'll try any food once, on one condition: it has to be dead. (A friend of mine said he's tried fried grasshoppers and they were crunchy and delicious, so why not? I've already had frog legs, and they were amazing, and my dad routinely cooks snails. They're savoury and chewy and very nice.)

Oysters used to be the food of the poor, and chicken an expensive delicacy.

I had cicadas and silkworms when I was living in China on multiple occasions. They're not something I'd choose to eat, necessarily, but they're also not the worst thing I've ever eaten, especially fried in peanut oil. It's mostly psychological.

In other words, it's not actually affordable, and it's not very good fuel on top of it. So saying that we're not at a point where we should eat bugs based on corn subsidies isn't necessarily true. But with climate change continuing to wreak its havoc, the argument to start figuring out how to make bugs tasty becomes…

I, for one, welcome our new insect hor d'oeurves.

This is exactly how we introduce bug-eating to Americans — Frito-Lay snacks.

Most people don't. Most people who eat seafood only eat stuff that looks like meat.

Let's not forget carmine and cochineal. If you're eating any red/purple food that lists carmine or cochineal as an ingredient, you're eating dried, crushed up bug shells.

I'm not afraid! Bring me the bugs and I will devour them to obtain their power and might!

There was bugs in your cheetos too.

Just fry them.

Those deep fried mexican crickets with the chili-lime powder on 'em? Yeezus good. DOUBLE NOMS. You deep-fry anything & put spice on it, it's yum.

Knowing some of your food has ground up roach legs in it is different than popping the whole roach into your mouth.

If you eat lobster, crab, scallops, shrimp....then you are pretty much already eating bugs.

Their first mistake is thinking people are into milk because of the calcium.
