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
just read alas Babylon ,so im going to get more salt!!!!

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
A major part of survival is invisibility.
