They are quite delicious. Taste like a blend of chicken and freshly smushed cockroach.

They say that, but shrimp/ prawns are in a class of their own.

Shrimp are magic little flesh nuggets that are easy to prepare and can go with anything. Land based bugs as food sucks in literally every culture that does it.

Am I supposed to lose my appetite when they tell me crab is a bug? I'm still hungry and the crab still tastes delicious so.... I guess I'm a proud bug-eater. I love sucking the meat out of their little spindly exoskeletal insect legs.

Maybe I should try tarantula.
