i'm sure you could ask some people if they've ever eaten an actual chicken-looking-like-a-chicken, and the answer would be 'no'...

I've eaten snails, so I imagine I could eat a slug.  Nonetheless, slugs aren't insects...

One of the labs I worked in during my undergrad used to keep a mealworm colony for feeding their turtles.  When the colony got to big, the grad students would have a harvest and snack on salted toasted mealworms.  They are surprisingly tasty.

bundaegi (aka steamed and seasoned silkworm pupae) is one of the popular street foods of my homeland.

they are also surprisingly tasty.

or so my childhood memories tell me.

I could definitely eat any of the crunchies, but would clearly struggle with the slimies.

i realize they're molluscs.

but they're yucky beings which ooze around outside and make me gag.  and are therefore grouped with BUGS in my brain.
