Have you ever eaten an insect?

[Yoshi155]

Yeah no lol. I’ve never eaten one and I’m never going to eat one. I mean… hopefully I’ve never eaten one before.

 

[themysterybidder]

No, that's something I definitely would not do.

 

[digimon]

voted no because i think that’s something i’d be too afraid to do i’m pretty frightened by bugs tbh

 

[Liz!]

I haven't ate an insect purposely.
I hope never to have too.

 

[VernalLapin]

No, but I’d like to try seasoned crickets someday and chirps (cricket chips).

 

[OswinOswald]

Never intentionally!
But my friends in college would make chocolate covered crickets every now and then. But it was more sort of a novelty to sus out who was cool enough that they would try them out. I hear if they're fried really well, it's just like eating chips, but the idea of eating a whole bug just does not sound appetizing to me =( Maybe you could trick me if it was ground into some sort of insect-meal or flour and then baked into some other form.
But some part of me thinks for the environment, we should eat more bugs! A good source of protein, and there are so many more bugs than humans, and so it would be a sustainable source of food.... if only we could get over the 'ick' factor

Yes a cricket in chocolate. Also had a fly before but I don't remember what it was inside. I think another chocolate. I tasted nothing. I was 6 with the cricket and I don't remember how old i was when i tried the fly. It was just crunchy

I also want to note that it wasn't because I was being silly or on purpose. The ones I ate were meant to be eaten

I hear cicadas are good. My brother said during cicada year some restaurants serve cicada salads and other dishes. We had the 17th year this year, kinda wish I tried one of the meals but idk where to find or how to cook them.

There was an ant in my water once.

 

[skarmoury]

it was fun reading the comments! also a little comforting some have actually tried insects (albeit how weird that sounds) cuz that means im not the only one LMAO

also for funsies i added an option "yes but against my will" for those who have accidentally ingested an insect. you have my sympathy.

 

[Envy]

Absolutely not. I'm pretty sure even trying would cause me to faint. I have a phobia of insects.

 

[cornimer]

I haven't (to my knowledge) and I don't want to.

 

[Halloqueen]

Most of us have probably eaten something with a food coloring that was made from mashed up insects, myself included, but if we're just talking whole insects, I haven't eaten an insect thus far. I almost came close to consuming one when a tiny moth found its way into and drowned in a drink, but thankfully I noticed in time and got rid of the drink.

I might be open to trying sometime just out of curiosity, probably preferably in the form of those insects covered in candy or if they're otherwise prepared in a recipe of some sort. Can't say that I'd be too enthused about the idea though, I feel a bit off even just thinking about it.

 

[Doo]

Not.. that I’m aware of.

 

[Wildtown]

I've had dried crickets before & "assorted" chocolate covered insects, nothing special. Probably have eaten a fly or gnat before well running..

 

[Shellzilla_515]

Actually, yeah! A few years ago, I tried a dried grasshopper (?) and it does taste like chips. I was surprised as I expected it to taste horrible. And that insects in general kinda freak me out...

 

[mewp0ka]

accidentally LMFAO i was like 6 and didn't notice that there were ants in my soda (it was dr. pepper) and...was not a fan.

 

[Xara]

god I hope not. If I have..... ignorance is bliss. >: )

Though I fear I am kind of intrigued by the insect candies and savoury snacks. Will I ever try any? Probably not. Am I curious? Perhaps.

 

[JellyBeans]

not to my knowledge but I feel like I would? if given the opportunity for a nice one lol

 

[Muna]

Umm yes, I think? When I was 13-14 years old I made a bet with a friend if I could eat an ant. Easy win. And these days quite often little flies bathe in my drinks and I'm pretty sure I swallowed at least few of them.
Does it even count if they both are so small?...

 

[Jhine7]

I have not! But I have seen them offered at the NYS Fair, so maybe next week when it opens!
