I actually googled chocolate covered cockroaches, and found recipes.

They were actually chocolate covered pitted dates, but they look convincing

A long time ago, in my teens, I visited this old aunt of my mother's. She was really old, couldn't see well, etc. Anyway, she served me some rice the 1st night. A rice with a twist because I crunched on something while eating. I pulled whatever it was out. Only to find out it was a leg. A cockroach's leg. I felt nauseous immediately. No taste, though, even though the gooey white stuff was on my tooth. Gross.

Maybe they're tasteless, who knows. Or maybe my tastebuds went in shock. Can't answer the question even though I chewed one.

Maybe you should put one in your mouth, OP & find out. Hearsay is never good enough 😉

There isn't enough meant on a bug to have any real flavor. It she'll, guts, and dirt. It's a mental thing. Just do it! You don't want to wonder this for ever...
