While this is true, I think I'm mostly content to let my cultural prejudices rule here. Then again, I think I'd be up for trying bugs slowly, perhaps starting with some ground-up cockroach into some curry paste, which I hear is normal in Thailand. (My Thai grocer says the heads are especially delicious!)

I wouldn't want to eat one that already died, though. I wouldn't know how it died, and if death was caused by injesting some sort of poison, the same could happen to me!
