I certainly have. I've mentioned this a few times on this board, and not trying to preach or anything, but people should embrace the notion of eating insects, or insect-based ingredients. In particular, things like cricket flour are the wave of the future. Crickets are incredibly high in nutrients and protein with virtually no calories. More importantly, they're ridiculously easy to farm and harvest, not to mention cheaper with a decreased carbon footprint. It's only a matter of time before the bottom drops out on the expensive and insanely unhealthy process of mass-produced meat and gives way to more sustainable means of mass food production.
I know the natural tendency is to be grossed out by it but if you think about it, there really isn't much of a difference between eating a cricket or a spider, as opposed to eating a cow, pig, lobster, etc. Obviously, eating a grub right off a tree when you're starving isn't going to be all that appetizing, but having actual farmed and cooked insects as a protein? Nothing wrong there. It's all mental.

Nothing wrong there. It's all mental. I have never gotten an opportunity to try out insects. I would have no problem in terms of morality but I am not sure if I will be able to not get disgusted by the looks and taste of insects. Klawrencio, how did it taste? If they taste alright then I might try.

If they taste alright then I might try. I've had roasted crickets and worms various times. Honestly, the crickets taste like pretzels/roasted nuts depending on how big they are and the worms taste like......sorta like those potato straw things that come in the aluminum canister.

You are correct. Think about it; people will spend a bit of $$$ for a lobster dinner and they are directly related to spiders.
