Can't remember that well but I liked potato bugs a lot, kind of spicey and they were big and juicy -lots of them too because we grew our own potatoes. I don't eat bugs anymore except for spiders that crawl into my mouth during the night.
I never ate them, I just liked watching them. Antlions were my favorite. I remember at recess I mostly just sat by my tree and watched the antlions attacking poor little ants that fell into their trap. Sometimes I captured the antlions and watched it try to burrow in my hand, it kind of tickled. Then I would put it back and watch it vanish into the sand. I liked the way they moved, quite fascinating little bugs.
I was brought up to think bugs were repulsive, until I grew a brain and a conscience, and realized they were living creatures that might actually TASTE good.
I could never think of eating a bug without thinking I was being tortured in some way.
Now, I think many bugs could contribute to staving off world hunger. They are abundant, free and many, I'm sure are JUST AS TASTY as a bloody muscle that is sold for 50 bucks as prime rib.
