I've put a lot of unpleasant looking things in various orifices, but I have to draw the line at putting live bugs in my mouth.

I used to work in a pet store, and we sold and fed live silkworms to reptiles. Literally the giant beetle larvae that silk was produced from. They had a very specific unpleasant odor that I will never forget. Last February I was out in the country in Baja California Sur, Mexico, at a mezcal and tequila sampling. One of them was the kind that had the little worm in the bottle. I decided to be brave, and took a shot of it. How bad could it really be? The alcohol should mask any odd flavour in it. It tasted exactly like silkworms smelled. And the flavour lingered and wouldn't go away. I took a shot of high quality tequila to try and burn it away, then a few chugs of hibiscus juice, then downed a large glass of water. The silkworm taste would not go away. So I ate a large spoonful of hot sauce. That helped somewhat. The people we were sitting with couldn't stop laughing at me, yet decided they didn't want to try it after I explained why it disgusted me so. It was horrid. I had no idea the flavour would stick so badly inside my mouth. Never again.

They had a very specific unpleasant odor that I will never forget. Silk is produced by caterpillars (moths), not beetle larvae. The larvae sold as live pet food are usually mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) or superworms (Zophobas morio). They are both in the darkling beetle family Tenebrionidae and produce some really foul smelling excretions.

Hell I don't even know if you can get them around here; they are found on 2 bushes in the scrub and I have no idea how to identify them. But yes they taste like almond raw or scrambled eggs cooked. I got to eat one as a kid and it was interesting. I want more now just to try them with a more mature mind set. cash crab posted:

Other ants then extract nourishment from them. They function as living larders. Holy poo poo, that's horrifying.

I've eaten a few types of insects at a taster session, although cooked rather than raw. There was this grub looking thing that had the exact taste and texture of generic-brand bacon puffs, it was fantastic. I didn't like the ants with wings because they stuck in your teeth. The mealworms were bland and fiddly because you weren't supposed to eat the mouthparts.

Kakairo posted:difficult for me to get over since I used to have a pet rabbit This is pretty much the entire reason why you can't get rabbit meat anywhere. Recently Whole Foods actually got boycotts for carrying rabbit meat, because even though it's good for you and way more sustainable that pretty much any other kind of livestock out there bunnies are cute.
