This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

And if you can accept that, you can eat land-based insects, which honestly, in general, taste fine.
I'm not sure why someone is so disgusted by eating a pastry made with cricket flour but can eat a whole plate of shrimp they have to peel themselves.
For me, I'd have a hard time eating whole bugs because it's all shell and little meat, and I imagine the texture to be off-putting. Also, I've kept crickets and they're so stinky.
