I eat a little higher off the hog than the bugs.

LOL, me too, but if I ever have to eat bugs to survive, I'd like to know which ones I can eat, and how to cook them.

I think I'd really prefer them cooked, if you know what I mean. With some seasoning maybe.

:-)

The closest I come to eating bugs are “mudbugs” better known as crawfish or crawdads!!!!! And they definitely are eaten cooked (at least by me)

My husband swears the bravest person to have ever lived was the first person to eat a raw oyster, a delicacy affectionately called “snot on a rock” in our house :)

I’m told grasshoppers and crickets taste like shrimp. Bee larvae are edible and don’t have stingers. Some slugs are edible.

Never tried them myself, but I have several friends who have.
