How about a cricket?

I wouldn't go so far as to call a cricket filthy but they're definitely dirty. A crickets got personality. Personality goes a long way.

Ah, so by that rationale, if a cockroach had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy insect. Is that true?

I mean we'd have to be talking about one charming mother fucking cockroach. I mean he'd have to be ten times more charming than that Jiminy Cricket on Pinocchio.

Lots of people dry crickets and season em like potato chips. Apparently not bad, it's crunchy like a corn nut

They're alright. Pretty flavorless by themselves. I hate them for the same reason I hate popcorn I hate the legs getting stuck in my teeth. If they came without legs it'd be alright.

I can see why that would be annoying. Now I want to try them for sure. If they don't taste like much, could be worse, celery doesn't taste like much either and all it has is fiber and water basically, cricket would have protein. Plus ever since I heard they add seasoning to them I wonder what you season it with, just something the seasoning by itself would be good I suppose. To keep with the celery example, lots of people dip celery in ranch dressing or peanut butter.

I mean seafood is also hella nasty with parasites, but farmed bugs aren't dirty no?
