    Not much. It’s mainly just a texture. I think the most flavorful was a type of ant that tasted kind of like a black bean.

    It depends entirely on the bug and moreso the seasoning. I’ve eaten my share of ants and crickets in Mexico and South East Asia and the taste can vary wildly. I recall tasting the seasoning more than any buggy flavor.

    On a side note, raw goat blood soup tastes exactly like you think it would… never again.

    I once ate freeze dried mealworms. They tasted very bland and dry. More useful as an ingredient.

    Tried mealworm and I think crickets before. Reminded me of sunflower seeds

    I had crickets in laos, they tasted kind of like a bean with some good curry spices added.

    I had sushi that was crusted with ants instead of seaweed in Colombia. It tasted a lot like a dark chocolate.

    I ate some chocolate-coated crickets once. I’m not sure what they tasted like, but not chocolate. I also tried cornchips made with cricket flour instead of cornmeal. They didn’t taste much of anything.

    I’ve eaten fried grasshoppers and similar insects in SE Asia. They taste like crispy pork to me.

    Fried leaf cutter ant queen abdomen (it’s just a ball full of eggs) reminds me of bacon.

    I had some deep fried crickets once. Just tasted like generic salty snack. Came in little packets my coworking place used to get as samples from various snack companies.

    Once ate a ladybug on a dare when I was a kid.

    Ladybugs are toxic and taste extremely bitter. They taste that way on the way back up, and that taste sticks the fuck around.

      Achully the bug-taste in these people isn’t that strong. Some cumin and parsley will make them taste just like any other human. Veggies in the other hand are yum, and don’t need no extra seasoning
