Do you eat raw bugs or cooked bugs? Cooked bugs are really good but personally, while I’ve eaten some ants alive before just to try, it just doesn’t taste good

tl;dr Both!

The jokes I make are mostly about the fact that I can and have looked at a bug on the ground and went "I think I will put this in my mouth". I'm prone to do that with pieces of plastic and river rocks too. You're right though, Bugs do not taste very good. They're crunchy.

Bugs-prepared-as-food is a different sort of thing? I have eaten bugs intended for consumption, but that's not really a common practice here, so mostly it's just a novelty thing. Seasoned crickets are way better than the beetle I picked up off the sidewalk.

#moonward-bound #thank you for the ask #usually when i eat a bug it is #1) in response to someone going 'hey jay i bet you wont eat that bug #2) i've been awake for 53 hours and im feeling a little manic and everything feels like a great idea why not eat a bug #i dont USUALLY wake up and think 'today i am going to eat a bug'#my eating is just disordered enough that my brain goes 'you wanna eat a flower? some dirt? a BUG? fine whatever do what you want'#most of my weirdness is internal you usually can't tell from the outside that im losing it #i dont eat bugs in public
