A couple of years ago a colleague of my wife's hosted an insect dinner party. We tried to get out of it by saying we were vegetarian but she insisted that the night was going to be educational, because she would be talking to everybody about how insects could be the solution to starvation in many parts of the world. She was also asking for donations for some charity. So, despite our "don't kill concious beings" diet, we went to show support and make a donation. While I was there I decided that since the bugs were already dead and cooked, I may as well try some. I had one single larva (I can't remember what kind of insect it came from) but it was absolutely disgusting. It was covered with some sort if BBQ spice, much like the way they powder on the flavour for potato chips. It tasted so awful I had to go rinse my mouth. I have no idea how in the world the other people were eating that stuff. We didn't even stay long enough to see all of the things that were served.
