As someone who hasn't had crickets other than in really tiny, ground form, is it just ease of collection and cooking that makes them come 'entire creature' on a plate? Other than fish, hard to think of other creature food that's presented/eaten entire. Are all the parts truly equally good? Or just hard to separate

This was a “fancy dinner” and I think, if anything, they were probably pretty hard to collect in this quantity. After they are fried like this, there really isn’t anything left on the inside. It tastes like you are biting into one of those “air chips” or something. A bit of a crunch, but that’s it. Nothing on the interior that comes out or anything.

That actually looks really good. I've had seasoned crickets but they're too expensive. We need a real insect market around here.
