Why not. If you can digest a horseburger in Ljubljana you can digest anything

Face Hugger Surprise looks tempting.

I once tried lamb brain. Nasty stuff. Wouldn't recommend it.
Not that it's disgusting, just tasteless with a texture of rotten mushrooms

It does resemble ga'ak. Though it would make me gag.

Tonight Special: Braised Baby Crocodile head, served over Bacon Bits, Spinach, and Rice Pilaf.

If they were clever, they would find ways to dissolve and extract the protein and ingredients from insects' bodies, then solidify it again, press it into bars and sell it like a block of Tofu. They do so with "Fleischwurst" -

first it is all kind of meat remains and slaughter waste in a bin, then they add some enzymes, it becomes liquid alltogether and loses all looks and structure. Spice in, salt in, stir. Then another enzyme added, and it solidiefies again. The result has nothing that reminds of real meat's consistency, nevertheless is in high demand at least over here. (I personally do not like it, but that is exclusively taste-related).

What keeps people from eating insectoid protein or a larva, is the looks, and the fact that you eat all the internal stuff as well: little brains, all kind of imagined glibbery slobber, digestion system plus content, and so forth. This has to be bypassed, and acceptance will raise.

Sorry man, if I know it is made of maggots but it looks like a lollipop I'm still not eating it.

I used to like Jello, 'til I found what it's made from.

Check the ingrediants of a hot dog.

I'm guessing you wouldn't like Haggis nor Black Pudding (hint, the latter is not a dessert).
