Coffee with a bit of techno usually
I once ate freeze dried mealworms. They tasted very bland and dry. More useful as an ingredient.
Tried mealworm and I think crickets before. Reminded me of sunflower seeds
I’ve eaten fried grasshoppers and similar insects in SE Asia. They taste like crispy pork to me.
Cayenne, mostly.
Fried leaf cutter ant queen abdomen (it’s just a ball full of eggs) reminds me of bacon.
It depends entirely on the bug and moreso the seasoning. I’ve eaten my share of ants and crickets in Mexico and South East Asia and the taste can vary wildly. I recall tasting the seasoning more than any buggy flavor.
On a side note, raw goat blood soup tastes exactly like you think it would… never again.
I ate locusts once, I could only taste the seasonings on them. Nice and crunchy though.
I already tasted a few variations, mainly criquets with different seasoning. The salty, deep fried one, tasted like fries, the sweet ones like caramel covered corn chips. So basically, it doesn’t have a lot of taste, but cool texture.
I had some deep fried crickets once. Just tasted like generic salty snack. Came in little packets my coworking place used to get as samples from various snack companies.
Chicken.
Seasoned crickets are good. Too expensive.

Everyone eat bugs without even know. Tasting is like an extra step, what if I asking you how a bigmac taste?
