I bit its head off to stop it flapping its wings and then popped it into my mouth. I gagged a bit when it exploded but managed to keep it all in and after a bit of chewing I swallowed it,,more gagging but no vomit.

It's not something I'll repeat in a hurry but I just wanted to test myself to see if I could do it, now I know that I can, although next time I'll fry it first

ther better cooked they taste like earthy prawns

might be more appealing to some:

I will try anything once....but have to say not looking forward to this lot.....bit of a wimp...me

For anyone that is a bit squeamish,... then you can always dry the bugs out, ground them and add the powder to an dish you like,... you will get the goodness without the uncomfortable taste in your mouth

I would eat anything if I had to survive, except those witchety grubs
