    Man I can’t help but cringe when reading this and picturing myself handling and eating them. In principle, I’m all for it, but I’m kind of a somewhat squeamish eater and I think for me they would need to be integrated into something where you can’t really tell it’s there (protein bars, soups, whatever).

      Yeah, even visualization aside, I guess insects are not that interesting to cook compared to your usual animals. You probably won’t make yourself a “steak” from crickets alone. What is usually sold is flour. You can spread it on your salad to add proteins, or make burgers patties with them.
      I write all that as if I was an expert, but I honestly never tried it ^^. One day, probably.
