    I’ve had several types of bugs. Some (grasshoppers, beetle larvae) taste nutty, like pecans, one (giant water bug) had an unpleasant juniper flavor and ants are citrusy because of the formic acid. Honestly, other than the giant water bug, my experience eating bugs was not unpleasant.

      We used to eat ants when we were kids because we were weird and we thought they tasted like tomatoes.
