I have travelled in parts of the world where people enjoy eating various fried and cooked insects. You can buy them at the market there. And you can catch and cook them in your home.
I've tried eating some fried insects mixed with salad. And they tasted pretty good. Has anyone else tried this?
People in Western countries often say that eating insects is disgusting. But most of them have no idea what they are talking about because they've never tried eating insects.

i've never tried fried insects, i have had chocolate covered ants though. to answer your question, people in Western countries freak out over eating insects just because it is outside of the norm. with many, it's a mental thing. if they didn't know what they were eating, they probably would think they taste good. i've noticed that with a lot of people and with myself. things usually taste good until i know what i am eating (as in the case of the ants)

At various science conventions, I've tasted insects. They weren't bad, but didn't really appeal to me.

I don't know if I could try something like that. Just the sound of it crunching in my mouth. I don't know I would have to be in that situation and see what would happen.
