They're big in China as well; a close friend had a heaping plate of 'em at the end of the year family feast least year. Not being partial to edible bugs, I passed, but everyone else seemed to enjoy them.

Shrimp: love 'em
Snails: good too
Inago: too sweet

Grubs: think I'll pass, unless I'm stranded in the Outback and starving or picked for some tons o' cash-offering Survivor rip-off...
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming...

I ate those things in Korea. I didn't think they tasted like chicken at all. They actually tasted kind of woody. They were OK until they got cold. Then I couldn't stomach them.

Not sure if it's an inaka thing or country wide, but apparently people here, especially some of the older folk, have a taste for bee larvae.

I ate those a few decades ago.

Not as bad as I expected, but not as good to make me care for more...
