I've always wondered why western countries have found bugs unpalatable, while most other cultures eat some sort of worms/grubs/insects/etc. They would be a great source of cheap protein. However, like most Americans, I can't get past the idea (although I know we eat them every day in our prepared food—somehow it's not quite the same as eating stir fried crickets).

In these same cultures, what do they do on special occasions? Cook themselves up some meat. If they could replace their animals easily, they'd consume them over bugs, bet on it.
