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.

Coffee with a bit of techno usually

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.

Cayenne, mostly.

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 already tasted a few variations, mainly criquets with different seasoning. The salty, deep fried one, tasted like fries, the sweet ones like caramel covered corn chips. So basically, it doesn’t have a lot of taste, but cool texture.

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

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.

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.

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.

I ate locusts once, I could only taste the seasonings on them. Nice and crunchy though.

Tastes like bugs
