There are plenty of places in the world where people do think of insects as tasty meals. I’ve eaten a variety of land arthropods, and many were quite good. While it took some mental fortitude to eat a deep fried scorpion, the flavor was really good. I’d describe it as smoky, nutty bean jerky paste inside crunchy fried chicken skin. I’d describe silk worm pupae fried with butter as having a flavor akin to nutty cheese. Grilled giant water bugs have a floral camphor note, but i find the wings a bit papery. There were these grubs/pupae that i had deep fried somewhere in rural thailand that were extraordinary. They had a nutty flavor and popped in your mouth. I have no idea what they were, but I could easily see having them instead of popcorn while watching a movie. Crickets grilled with in corn husks with basil and garlic are divine. The taste is subtle and nutty. I suspect that nutty would be a common adjective.
