    Crickets are actually pretty tasty when prepared well; they make good snacks for when you want something crunchy like potato chips but with a heartier nutritional profile. I’ve had them in both sweet and savory flavors. Crickets are a tiny bit gritty as a protein powder, but still pretty good. I haven’t tried them as flour but it’s probably similar to the protein powder.

    It’s not on the list, but I’ve always wanted to try honeypot ants.

    I’m pretty sure I don’t need to know anything about which insects people in Singapore eat

        The article says “here’s everything you need to know”

        While I suppose there’s uses for the knowledge of what insects are legal to serve as food in Singapore, it isn’t necessary knowledge unless I’m a restauranteur in Singapore thinking about insect food
