I am a picky eater, not a big fan of Sushi among many other things. I found something even less enticing to me when I stumbled across this website describing Japanese delicacies and other international treats involving insects as food. Have you eaten insects as food (on purpose)? Do you eat them regularly?
I have tried candied fried grasshopper and chocolate covered ants, while neither are something I would seek out, they weren't all that bad. Without the candied coating and the chocolate, they are low carb and high protein foods. I would do well to eat more Inago.
I do not eat insects nor do I have any desire to try them. I occasionally watch that chunky bald guy eat freaky things (granted I don't consider sushi freaky) on that weird-foods-around-the-world show and that's more than enough for me.
I haven't, except in Chinese medicine, silk worms smell horrible. I can't imagine eating them regularly.
Silk worms, leeches, cockroaches (flightless), snakes, wasp nexts, centipedes, gecko, scorpion are things I handle regularly. I'm glad I don't have a condition I would need to consider ingesting them regularly though.

Good point. I'll revise my statement: unless I get caught in a time warp and get shot down over Bosnia ca. 1999, I'm going to go ahead and skip the bugs and larvae.
I'm having a hard time thinking where one would have to subsist on bugs, all I can come up with is some third world prison, where one has to buy your food and you don't have anyone to buy it for you.
Even a desert island ought to have fish.
