This! I don't know how I would feel about the texture experience of eating whole insects, but using them in stuff as a powder seems very doable.
Cricket flour isn't bad at all. It adds a burnt toast flavor that works best in heavier spiced baked goods. I've made this recipe a few times for halloween and challenged people to "eat bugs" and everyone who tried it has liked it. I do make sure they don't have a shellfish allergy first.

I bought some of the little flavored crickets you can get, I got cheese flavor and bbq flavors. They're not bad, they remove the legs so it's just a little morsel, they taste a lot like sunflower seeds. I don't think I'd be opposed working them into my diet if I needed to.
