I found roasted crickets very bland and tasted like oats. I assume thats what they were fed.
I'd probably eat them if they were extremely cheap and accessible but I dont see the point when chickpeas, beans, lentils, and soy all taste better, are cheaper, and easily sourced.
They are popular in China (along with fried bees) with ketchup as a side dish instead of fries.
Kinda works this way, but I'm not sure it could replace meat or soy-based products.
There is a baseball stadium here in the US where the most pop food sold was sour cream and onion flavor crickets. Kinda wanted to try that out since hearing about it.
Do you know what fried bees taste like? I imagine they have a more interesting taste if theyre consuming nectar and honey.
Um, I spent half a year in China. Bees tasted like something deep fried. The texture was nice, but the taste wasn't memorable.
They basically taste like what you feed them.
