Honestly I haven’t tried it but I wouldn’t mind certain things containing bug parts (on purpose) to make up for protein in them. And honestly that crunch sounds quite good.

    I’ve eaten --cricket-- grasshopper tacos at a restaurant in Washington, DC. The crunchy texture was honestly great. My only complaint was that the spice/sauce they used to prepare them was too salty. I think with a more restrained spice blend, it would be something I’d be happy to eat on the regular.

    Edit: I was mistaken. They’re grasshoppers, and apparently the saltiness is part of their natural flavor.

      I ate fried grasshoppers at a place in DC years ago and I could never remember the name! Thank you!!

      grasshopper tacos absolutely slap. there’s nothing else with that unique balance of chewiness to crunch. me gusta :]

      didn’t know they were inherently salty. that’s a neat fact
