It's cultural of course, but the funny thing is that kinda-insects are already culturally accepted food in the west – but only ones from the sea such as shrimp, crabs, etc.

I ordered a cricket steak and was a little disappointed.

But seriously its not stigma, its cuisine preference.

Crickets don't taste like much. But we also each chicken. It's all about how you prepare it.

I had them fried and seasoned/salted iirc, they were surprisingly good little snack. I think it'd take a bit of time for most people to not be squeamish about casually eating them, rather than as a little novelty thing at a food festival.

I meant it as a joke about the size of crickets but I didn't write it very well.

I liked it :)

Mmm.... .0003 oz cutlets.
