    I found roasted crickets very bland and tasted like oats. I assume thats what they were fed.

    I’d probably eat them if they were extremely cheap and accessible but I dont see the point when chickpeas, beans, lentils, and soy all taste better, are cheaper, and easily sourced.

      They are popular in China (along with fried bees) with ketchup as a side dish instead of fries.

      Kinda works this way, but I’m not sure it could replace meat or soy-based products.

        Do you know what fried bees taste like? I imagine they have a more interesting taste if theyre consuming nectar and honey.

          Um, I spent half a year in China. Bees tasted like something deep fried. The texture was nice, but the taste wasn’t memorable.
