I have eaten hoppers, crickets, bees, ants, scorpions and meal worms but those were all in novelty foods or speciality restaurants. Each were OK except meal worms. I know I've eaten a few on accident back when I used to two wheel. BTW, in the US, there are FDA limits for the allowable percentage for insect parts in non insect food. I think mostly grains.
I guess my point was, if your vegan/vegetarian for altruistic or environmental reasons, is there a line that you won't cross or where do you the line drawn? Eggs, insects, worms, any animal product/by-product?
Damn! What did they all taste like? Particularly scorpions, haha.
Yeah, I think I read somewhere about insect-limit.
I've been a veggie on/off for about 6 years now and will eat eggs. But tend to make sure they are free range.
Taste? When covered in honey or chocolate, crunchy honey or chocolate. Ants were a little citric/acid. Meal worms were crunchy bags of neutral puss. Scorpions were teriyaki glazed so it hid most of the taste. I'm told it's suppose to have a crustacean flavor but I didn't taste any.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
