That was my first thought too.
I am Danish and I eat leverpostej daily. It is minced pork liver, minced pork fat and a few other things, mixed baked in the oven.
I am sure others would say it is revolting, but I love the taste.
I also had squid. Tasted kinda rubbery, but people might say it was revolting.
I have had (and enjoyed) pig heart, it is super time consuming to make, but so, so delicious.
I have had pig cheeks as well. Also tasty.
My point with this isn't to gross anybody out, but that what we find gross is a cultural thing, not an objective thing, so there is no a priory reason we should find insects especially gross.
And yes, I have had meal-worms. Tasted like paper, but the nutritional ratios are a dream: 53% protein, 20ish percent fat, almost no carbs.
- gnulinux 8y agoI think pork is a very good example. In Europe, you can see millions of Jewish people or Muslims that consider pork "unclean" and don't eat them; just like we consider rats "unclean" and don't eat them but eat pork. It really doesn't make sense to think that there is single "inherent" way how people think about food.
