I don't usually voluntarily eat bugs but if someone put that in front of me then I'd be curious enough to try it.

Inb4 "crab, shrimp and lobsters are basically bugs". Yeah, I don't usually eat them though. I used to love shrimp as a kid, but somewhere along the way I stopped enjoying the flavor. They aren't bad, just... Idk. Just not a fan anymore.

You see this all the time, but they're really not. With crab, shrimp, and lobster you usually extract the meat and just eat that. Bugs are mostly tiny so you eat the whole thing. Very different texture, not to mention taste.
