    Well since there is an acceptable level of insect and maggot material that can be in food sold to the public, the yes we all have.

    I ride 4 wheelers in the country. Of course I've eaten bugs. You learn quickly to keep your mouth shut when flying through the tall weeds.

    We all have. Over the course of an average human life we’ll consume thousands of insect parts most notably from grains and cereals :eek:

    I ate a cicada once on a dare. Then this kid threw up everywhere, which was both hilarious and more gross than eating the cicada.

    Typical party at my house. My brother in law will put almost anything in his mouth...almost anything. He has eaten a minnow that he fished with all day but he almost threw up when he ate a soggy sandwich. Go figure.

    Shit. I forgot. I ate a spider on thanksgiving. There was this tiny spider crawling across my table. My brother in law pointed it out so I smacked it with my hand. He said "eat it". My husband said "NOOOO" then I licked it off my hand. So yeah, I ate a bug a few weeks ago...on purpose. It's not the worst thing I've ever had in my mouth ;)

    I lived in Cambodia where roach was a delicacy. I was sitting at a bar and a lovely Cambodian girl sat next to me with a big plate of roaches and offered one to me. So I tried one. Not bad, tasted a little like lobster. I had a few more.

    gahhhh lode!!! How many times do you have to tell the eating roach story. Way to ruin my night. I won't be sleeping thanks to you.

    I did eat a couple of ants once in Arizona. I was feeling very sick and someone told me ants would heal me. I thought it was b.s. but eventually I tried it. Then I tried it again. Then never again. Tasted like crunchy fire, felt like drugs for a very quick minute.
