Michelle’s new rules; “Let Them Eat Caterpillars!”
Well the VA near Chicago is already serving cockroaches. So leading edge!

“Slimy, yet satisfying.”
Sweden is cold country near the Arctic Circle. There aren’t many insects to eat up there, certainly not through the winter.
Japanese beetle grubs. My neighbor’s dogs (RIP) used to dig them up and eat them.
They’re thick where I am. I might just try that.
