My company[1] did a bit of flavor profiling research for a few Ento farmers and startups. Once you get over your aversion to the idea of eating crickets or mealworms, their actually quite good! The crickets always reminded me of french fries (and I don't even eat fries....).
We have a vegetarian on our team who felt fine eating them. No pain, no harm.
Lobsters on the other hand... jury is out on weather they feel pain.

- failrate 13y agoWhen we were in Shanghai for ChinaJoy, we stopped at a Yunan beer bar called Southern Barbarian. Our appetizer was a plate of deep fried crickets, meal worms, and bees. They all had a nice potato chip feel and taste. The bees made my lips numb, so I stopped eating them.
