The meal worms and grubs were not that big of a deal, but the grasshoppers, crickets and other insects were tough because the legs and hard parts ended up getting stuck in my teeth, and they were sour. The earthworm just tasted like slime and dirt, and I just swallowed it whole, no chewing. This was about 20 years ago, so I my memory of the exact taste is a little foggy.

I do remember one bug that really tated like tobasco sauce. I can't tell you which one it was, or if they just dunked it in tobasco sauce just be mean, but my mouth really burned.

Edit: and yes I ate them raw.

One time my mom found meal worms in the cereal that she fed me, after I ate two bowls, so I don't know if that would be considered for this thread because it was unintentional, and masked by the cereal and milk flavors.
