Question of the Day - Friday, September 12th, 2025

[casportpony]

Have you ever eaten insects of any kind, on purpose? What kind(s), and how were they prepared?

Yes. Chocolate-covered baby bumble bees, chocolate-covered crickets, and snails (escargot) cooked with butter and garlic.

 

[BoundlessLove]

No

 

[Evadig]

No

 

[FrostRanger]

Yes, I had fried grasshoppers before, didn't care for it

 

[thecatumbrella]

I bought an ice cream a few years ago with chocolate covered crickets mixed in. Figured the chocolate would cancel out any odd tastes/textures. It did not. Tasted like actual bugs.

 

[CCsGarden]

No, it sounds gross.....

 

[fowltemptress]

I ate a grasshopper on a dare. It was one of those large yellow and brown ones, and I couldn't stomach chewing it so I stupidly swallowed it whole without thinking to kill the poor thing first. I still feel guilty about it.

 

[azurbanclucker]

chocolate crickets. "meh".

 

[sourland]

No, unless shrimp and crabs qualify.

 

[HorseGirlAbby]

Not unless you count tiny bugs on fruit that I saw, ignored, and ate
