Eek, late again! But better late than never, right?

Bug Appetite

This does present an interesting question: would you ever eat bugs as an alternative to regular meat? The experts do talk about all the health benefits, but what about the ick factor?

I was watching a show on TV recently which involved a chef from New York City who cooked up various kinds of bugs and combined them with different ingredients (for instance, a fried tarantula on a stick with some kind of sauce coating).

Even if it tasted great, I think the sheer texture and knowledge of what I was eating would put me off.

But then again, some people are very adventurous. What about you? Would you ever eat a bug? Or have you ever done this?
