    You’d have to give it the ol’ Jamie Oliver treatment. De-everything it, until it’s just meat, then blend it up, coat it with breadcrumbs, and serve it as chicken* nuggets.

    Probably the only way I’d ever eat bugs.

      It’s a texture thing for me. Prawns and crab etc have a texture that makes me want to puke. I have tried many times in the past to learn to be okay with different types of shellfish and I have failed everytime. Even ordered scallops on a fancy restaurant once and they tasted really nice, but the texture made my skin crawl.

      I’m sure landbugs would be the same for me. Nice tastes, repulsive texture.

        i actually find shrimp to be quite tolerable, but it’s just something about the slight… ocean-y flavour and knowing it’s a crustacean that wins out after a few bites and i have to stop before i start retching…
