Have you ever ate bugs just to see what they taste like? We all know how other countries eat bugs pretty often around the world. Not saying everywhere just some places.

grasshoppers and ants - cooked
moths and worms (not really an insect) - raw

you could eat a chocolate covered insect and have no idea what it was. the grasshoppers chocolate chip cookies were really good, extra crunchy.

Dude, that site is bogus. I am an Indian and I can assure you that, nowhere in India, is drinking a paste of green ants considered a condiment.

Wow. Were you scared to eat them your first time or did you not want to take them down the first time or what?

Why did you try them by the way?

it never seemed to be a big deal (not that i eat insects on a regular basis). I have eaten them purchased from a store (chocolate covered), my sister made cookies with them a few times and i think the first time was in a survival course. i gave some cookies to co-workers and told them they were grasshopper cookies. they ate them thinking it had something to do with the brand name i guess. their reactions after they realized what they had eaten were priceless.

Ok but your still one of the brave few that even tried them. I bet there not as bad as they look or some people imagine them to be.
