Whenever I see someone describe bugs they've eaten, it's always things like "not bad" and "it was better than I expected." Seems like most people compare it to what they imagine it would taste like, considering how gross it looks. And comparatively, in my experience at least, it usually could be much worse. But they aren't good either. I've never heard someone say "damn, that is a tasty bug."

I am extremely open minded when it comes to food or things that are edible. I'm also an avid believer in trying anything once - if someone tells me to eat that thing, I'm going to eat it. But I've never really enjoyed any bugs that I've eaten. I'm always glad that I tried it, but given the choice I'd stick to my current diet. Maybe things would be different if I was born as an echidna or something.
