Big protein isn't bad. I had some sort of nugget made from it. Tasted like chicken.

I was trying to get over my fear of insects, so I went to the Chinese market and bought a can of fried crickets.
I open the can and there are a bunch of normal sized crickets, and one Egyptian plague locust motherfucker at the bottom of the can. I ate the crickets over a few days, and I figured it was working. I wasn't as bothered by it as when I started. I avoided eating the big one until it was the last one left. I worked up my courage and put it in my mouth. As I bit down, I tasted the nastiest thing I've ever had in my mouth. Fuck those things. |

Dubia roaches would be a better option. More protein, less chitin per bug. My leopard geckos love them.

I believe this is the brand featured on Shark Tank,
The owners are esteemed as entrepreneurs. Sure, they have gotten shelf space with the major Texas grocer. Beat CA to the crunch. |

When I was growing up on Ft. Hood, the Korean wives would be under the street lights filling large paper grocery bags with shitloads of crickets during cricket season.

I have seen two cricket based products for sale already here in NY.
"Chirps" are chips made out of cricket flour and I saw some cricket based protien powder somewhere else. |

I saw boxes of edible crickets for sale at the historic Horne’s restaurant in Port Royal, VA last time I was there. They had various flavors like potato chips, such as sour cream and onion. So perhaps they taste like potato chips.

Meh, I have eaten the cricket chips. I hate the noisy ass things, grilling them is a natural solution.
Besides, if TX has anything, its crickets. Stopped in a TX gas station one around 3 Rivers and the damn things had coated everything. Walking was like crunch, crunch, slip, crunch, slip.

America will have more Mexicans than European immigrants. They're probably catering to that demographic. Article even says crickets are a thing in Mexico.

Bugs are the future for protein.
Livestock has a conversion rate of about 6:1 food to protein. Crickets have a conversion rate of about 1.1:1. Very efficient. They also contain more protein by weight. 100g of beef will yield about 30g of protein, 100g of crickets will yield about 65g of protein. |
