I almost forgot to write about this, but I went on my mystery shop yesterday, it was in an area I don't usually go to, kind of a water based area, close to the Chesapeake Bay. Anyway, on the way home I stopped at this touristy place I had not been in in a long time. At the register they were selling edible crickets in a package. They weren't disguised in chocolate or anything,,,and just looked very well buggy, with legs and everything...Umm, noo. not for me. I was asking the cashier if she had tried any, she said no, but her brother had and said they weren't bad. These were bacon cheese flavored. She said they sell alot of them..ummm, I don't think I could get past the texture. Would you eat them?

@snowy22315 Mine either. The mention of crickets brought back the memory of dealing with Morman crickets when we would go to Utah.

Until I can find better food I will pass on crickets and other insects.

@snowy22315 can’t say I blame here. Do you think he would ever eat one? I feel like only young teens would eat one on a dare.

I would. But not on a whim, only in a survival situation.

I would be more likely to say have cricket flour or something like that...not eat as a snack especially if they looked like bugs, like these did..

I am reasonably adventurous with my food, but you have to draw the line somewhere...like I said, I might try one..but the idea of chewing one up,,,grosses me out.

I am afraid that I would starve first, even the thought of eating bugs makes me gag.

Oh my. I take a hard pass on that. I don't think I could stomach eating bugs.

They're one of the edible insects mentioned in the Bible. Though, no, I wouldn't eat them.

I wouldn't but it's good they seem to be fairly popular. We might all need to be eating them one day.
