Haven't had bees, but crickets are pretty good once you get over the initial mental hurdle. Kinda crunchy and earthy.

I had salt and vinegar crickets. They were good, as long as you didn't try to savor them.

I had mine in taco form. Spiced with cumin and probably fried, they were good when the legs weren't getting stuck in my teeth, haha

I had some salted chocolate covered ones years back, that was a whole delight.

Ohhh, nice! I love salt with chocolate, mole is a great treat too.

I can’t believe you’d eat Comfortable Doug like that.

Careful, you might trigger a conservative.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Why are conservatives what come to mind when you hear of salt and vinegar crickets?

I've seen this kind of thinking, but I still just think about the time I ate crickets.

I've just noticed that any time anyone ever brings up eating insects, or making flour out of insects, on the internet, some right wing dumbass reveals themself. Maybe lemmy is different, but I've seen that here too.

Lemmy has scant-few conservatives.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago

Depends on the instance

Well some of us haven’t done that so we mostly think of people losing their shit over it

[–] [email protected] 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You should try it if you can. It's much nicer thinking of culinary experiences than thinking of people making political drama over bugs of all things.

I’m a vegetarian so I’d rather not

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

[–] captainlezbian 1 points 7 months ago
