Honestly I haven't tried it but I wouldn't mind certain things containing bug parts (on purpose) to make up for protein in them. And honestly that crunch sounds quite good.

I've eaten --cricket-- grasshopper tacos at a restaurant in Washington, DC. The crunchy texture was honestly great. My only complaint was that the spice/sauce they used to prepare them was too salty. I think with a more restrained spice blend, it would be something I'd be happy to eat on the regular.

Edit: I was mistaken. They're grasshoppers, and apparently the saltiness is part of their natural flavor.

grasshopper tacos absolutely slap. there's nothing else with that unique balance of chewiness to crunch. me gusta :]

didn't know they were inherently salty. that's a neat fact
