Pass.

Not in a million years! Yuck. I grew up watching my dad doing that b/c he was in the military and he was trained to eat anything. I think he just did it in front of me to gross me out.

now way - now how - no can do.

i know that they are considered to be great by some, but certainly, i am not one of them.

Barf. Larvae aren't exactly appetizing to me.

Yes, I would try one, but it would have to be an adult. I don't know if I could ever eat the larvae of anything...but maybe dont' tell me it is larva...tell me it is a sliver of some big nut or something...

I'd try one, just for the hell of it.

In China I ate scorpions, grasshoppers, and silkworm larvae. The first two were OK, but the larvae tasted a little musty.

I would try it, why not? A billion people can't be wrong right? Anyways I've had escargot and thought it was fantastic! Putting chocolate on anything I'm sure makes it 10x better!

Mm. not so much.

No No and No.

NO WAY!!!!!!!

I agree soulight! Choc=delish! Although, something tells me chocolate covered escargot would be disgusting lol. I have tried it too, on a cruise, they were sauted and then baked with cheese. If you can't cover it in chocolate, cover it in cheese!

I have eaten insects and they're pretty unremarkable - I'll eat them again, no problem. My issue with this product, though, is that most of the insects I've eaten have been savory, so I'm not sure I'd want them dipped in chocolate, that's all.

no thanks. I'll eat a whole fish but a chocolate covered bug = no

Never!

APPARENTLY MY MOM ATE CHOCOLATE COVERED ANTS WHEN SHE WAS PREGNANT WITH ME IN HAWAII....DON'T KNOW HOW OR WHY BUT NONETHELESS

Hellll no, unless someone payed me a million dollars!!!

No, not for me.

I'm usually an adventurous eater but I draw the line at insect. I really hate insects in any context.

ICK

Hm. I just remembered. I have eaten ants before. They were alive, and they were on my pizza. I had stepped out of the house after leaving something at work (a pizza place) and had set my small pizza box, closed, down onto the fireplace of the living room while I ran up the street. When i got back, the lights were off and I put on a movie, and took a bite of my pizza, and it tasted strange...now mind you, I had chosen mushrooms and pineapple for topping, but it didn't taste quite right...well, i turned on the light and had just taken a bite, chewed and swallowed pizza that was indeed covered in little black ants...needless to say I spat out the pizza, threw everything out the back door (the dog was appreciative) and i sprayed ant spray all over the fireplace, and encircled myself in a chair in ant spray.

Woah. Perhaps the voting button should be changed to "I've *willingly* eaten insects before." Any bikers out there with bug-in-your-teeth stories?

"It's not kosher" is always my excuse for not eating weird things.

Not that I would eat them anyway but who has to know

noooooooooooooooooo thank you

i dont think so, get me drunk....then maybe.... lol jk jk

Bahahaaaa! Yum, this is amazing! I put "Yes, in fact, I have eaten insect before."

Let me explain... I got extra credit for eating crickets, mealworms and mussels in my invertebrate biology class a couple years ago in college. Its sad to say, but I had a harder time with the mussels than anything else. I LOVE seafood, but after you spend 2 hours dissecting live ones and learning that the majority of what you eat is GONADS (sexual organs)... the mussels are pretty gross!

only if I were forced to and even then would have to be for some serious cash prize!

I would only eat the grasshoppers; I have a serious fear of larvae, even if it was covered in chocolate.

eh, its not so bad, some are better than others, the worst tasting thing I ate (intentionally) was a dried type of caterpillar that tasted like tree bark. I'm pretty much up for anything once. lol

hell no!

of course i'll do it!!!!! i love Oaxaca's crickets... anda i´ve also tried mosquitos eggs... and ants filled with natural honey...

i can imagine the cronchines to the crickets... yum!!!!!!

no thanks, i'll pass.

I'm allergic to the bites and stings of so many insects that i just could not bring myself to get that close with one of my own free will, even if it is dead and non-venomous.

We were talking about this at work last week.

I have eaten chocolate covered bugs. I did it when I was about 7. A new neighbor moved in to my neighborhood and I was the one kid welcoming committee. The new neighbors (an older husband and wife)were from South Africa. I remember one day the man was sitting outside on his porch munching on something, I went over to just gab at him (cuz I was a chatty child). He offered me something covered in chocolate. I asked what it was and he said "chocolate covered ants and crickets" I went "OKAY! Thank you." And took one of each and ate them. That afternoon I sat with this gentleman for hours while he told me about living in different parts of Africa (he was white, me black) and we ate different chocolate covered bugs. No regrets, just yummy and educational.

I don't think my little brain made the connection that I was eating real bugs but I do know that I liked them. I remember they tasted like roasted nuts covered in chocolate. Before the man and his wife moved away I asked my dad to find some chocolate covered bugs for me to give them as a moving present. My dad asked why and was I trying to insult them. I told him about how I ate bugs with the old man and my dad laughed and said from what he had read that certain tribes around Africa eat bugs as their sole source of protein. My dad thought it was cool that I ate the bugs with the guy from South Africa. He found some tins of chocolate covered crickets and grasshoppers (which were apparently expensive and hard to get) and I give them to the couple before they moved. They were very grateful.

Years later I thought about that - that I ate chocolate covered bugs and still to this day I go "big deal". Heck when I was young and would be out playing bugs would fly in my mouth all the time plus I rolled in the mud and ate dirt - I was always far more scared to swallow a seed because I thought a tree would grow and burst through my stomach. I was bound to have eaten bugs at some point. Luckily I've had plain and chocolate.

Give me chocolate anyday!

NEVER NEVER they look so gross !

Ahaha, I did this twice. The first time...it was a live ( non chocolate) cricket. I feed them to my frogs and I was just curious. The second (chocolate this time) was at an ice cream parlor. If you ate one you got a free cone!

NO!!!

Wackdoodle: your childhood story is very sweet:-)
Still, I would pass on the chocolate-covered bug eating. The larvae look like dog droppings to me.

I'm Chinese and I don't eat bugs. And I don't know anyone who does. So... we don't all eat bugs (ditto with dogs).

Funnily enough, whenever I hear about someone eating bugs in China, it's always been a visitor, not a local. Maybe a special feast especially made to have some fun with visitors? I mean, I wouldn't be surprised if bug-eating locals exist... but it's not as common as people outside of China might think it is.

No way. Absolutely Not. Maybe a small bite for a million dollars. But not really.

I'm a chocolate dependent, and I consider this an offense to all chocolate lovers....have said :-S

Anything that LOOKS like a bug= No.

I'd never go near it...yes, even if it was the last thing to eat on earth. lol

Crickets are one of my favorite things to eat.

Insects are considered Microlivestock and there are a few farms that raise insects in a safe enviorment so they can be eaten.

Though people that say in a million years no think about how fast meat is being consumed eventually we may run out of cows, chicken, pigs and things and have to go to either soylent green or insects. Insects are a good source of proteins just like those found in meat.

A good think about them is that they do not carry e. coli or salmonella.

Ugh! Never!
If I wanted to eat bugs, I'd go on Fear Factor.

OMIGOD! HELL, NO! NOT IF U PAYED ME A MILLION BUCKS! Well, maybe 10 million!
