I ate some very weird stuff - quite possibly made from bugs - when I served in the United States Navy. Naval vessels have a long tradition of serving bugs - going back to the British Navy and weevils in the hardtack - but they're generally not an official part of the menu. I might actually try the mealworm thing. "Michael's Mealworm Muffins" has a nice ring to it... Somehow I am not surprised that the chef trained in the Royal Australian Navy.

Eating a moth with the wings on is like eating a candy bar with the wrapper still on. Not an optimal experience. You have to take the wings off, or they are a bit of a problem.

I for one would take that as an indication that moths are not very good eatin'... for cats anyway. And since my wife is, once again, in the process of trying to become vegetarian, moths will be pretty much universally off the menu in our household.

I... just don't know if I could do it! You know, I’ve eaten all manner of strange things, but I can honestly say that I’ve never tried to eat a bug (intentionally, anyway).
