I've never tried whole bugs, only protein bars. I feel like the texture of exoskeleton would be the worst part?

    It's just crispy when cooked properly. Do you like chips? French fries? Crispy pork? You'll be at home!

    I had dried cricket when my aunt hosted this insane trivia game as one of the “rewards” for guessing incorrectly, it actually wasn’t that bad, didn’t really taste like anything, just a standard salty burnt taste or a weird potato chip

    Not something I’m gonna go out and find to eat but it wasn’t bad

    I've only ever had one worse protein bar: the original powerbar. Made in Idaho back in the nineties, they were a uniformly brown (regardless of flavor), chewy, sticky, oddly grain flavored abomination. The OG version came in gold foil wrappers with black text, like it was out of a fancy MRE. They were awful.

    I imagine they would have the same eating experience as those mini shrimps commonly used in Chinese cooking. Meaning, great tasting but very unpleasant texture due to the shell.
