Mmmmmmm! ****roaches! Crunchy on the outside, gooey in the middle!
It's all situational, if an ant got on my sandwich at the picnic, that's his problem. if I am truly hungry, why not? If it was well prepared and smelled good, I just may give it a try.
If they were bugs that were known to taste good I would eat them.
I've eaten bugs before, but I have yet to find any that taste good.
No.
I can handle eating insects if they get caught up in the food making process. Fair enough. But I am not going to get a dozen large bugs on a plate and crunch them.
I ate some big fried ants one time in Mexico City. They were uh......umm..... OK, yeah.....they were OK..........:)
Have fun,

I have. I prefer ribeyes.
Now, fried shrimp heads.....that's a different story!
I don't think I would. I have issues with odd textures and food that looks, to me, unappetizing.
[QUOTE=thebigspendur;636385]Now this is serious. I'm not talking about a starvation situation.
Given that it was to save my life, h*ll ya. Under those circumstances I can think of nothing I wouldn't eat, If I going to die it won't be because I wouldn't eat a grasshopper. :)
I would and I am sure I will at some point in my life. I like trying bizarre foods. Considering Escargot is a favorite food of mine, who's to say I wouldn't love some type of bug too? I think that in this day and age, it's all fair game. Sushi is amazing. I love soft shell crab and frog's legs, etc.
I have eaten bugs of all kinds, and I'm not in the least bit bothered by it. I would draw the line at an unknown quantity though, as all the bugs, insects, ants and grubs I have chewed on, and whose inner contents I have swirled around the inside of my mouth, have already been tried and eaten by the Aboriginal people of this country. There are bugs in this country that have been introduced, and if they aren't considered food in their country of origin, or I just don't know, then I won't take the risk of food poisening.
