Many cuisines involve insects, but they are all traditional. It's just not more widespread because, unfortunately, cattle replaced all other protein sources in most places, specially in the west, where we apparently created a beef addiction. Here in Brazil there's a dish that involves flour and fried ants. It's delicious, tastes like shrimp, but I only tasted once since it's rare. Ant-eating is an influence from native americans. In Cambodia there's also deep fried tarantula. I never ate it, but apparently it's also delicious, tastes like crab. Basically, most insects once deep fried will taste like shrimp or crab, so not bad. There should be more available, since they are apparently way more efficient (and clean) to produce than cattle. Cutting down the forest to raise beef on grass, or cramming a bunch of mammals in a warehouse then wasting money on antibiotics doesn't make any sense.
