    I’ve never tried whole bugs, only protein bars. I feel like the texture of exoskeleton would be the worst part?

      I had dried cricket when my aunt hosted this insane trivia game as one of the “rewards” for guessing incorrectly, it actually wasn’t that bad, didn’t really taste like anything, just a standard salty burnt taste or a weird potato chip

      Not something I’m gonna go out and find to eat but it wasn’t bad

        Your first sentence says, “it actually was that bad,” but your second sentence says, “but it wasn’t that bad” so I’m going to assume you meant the latter.

      It’s just crispy when cooked properly. Do you like chips? French fries? Crispy pork? You’ll be at home!

      I imagine they would have the same eating experience as those mini shrimps commonly used in Chinese cooking. Meaning, great tasting but very unpleasant texture due to the shell.

      A friend of mine in Zambia taught me how to fry caterpillars. They are like squishy french fries. They are fine. They pair well with chibuku.
