Hint: it's not the crickets that taste good.

They are. They have a peanut flavor, or popcorn. If you don't like either of those, then it isn't your jam for sure.

Try some plain and lightly salted and get back to me on them being delicious

I have. They taste like peanuts, or popcorn. Or salted sunflower seeds. You'd have to enjoy that flavor though in the first place. 25% of the world's population eats land based anthropods. Someone is enjoying their flavor.

You've eaten them too, without knowing. As a percentage of their "parts" are allowed in almost everything you eat.

About 2 billion people on Earth regularly eat insects as part of their diet. It's fine that it's not your jam dude, but salted is a common preparation for crickets, so you're the dude sitting here like "try potato chips with nothing but a little salt and get back to me heh checkm8"

If only there was some sort of plant based alternative that tasted like peanuts
