well, what's done is done. i survived and no harmful effects befell me. it certainly did not hurt to eat the whole thing. 'just took a little while to chew the whole thing up.
I loved fried squid and octopus in Japan, the raw on the other hand...notsomuch. I can do sushi all day long but the texture of raw cuttlefish was odd. There's a specialty sushi there called "basashi" that's basically raw horse sushi. Never did get to try it.
i love chicken hearts, but prefer them breaded and deep fried, with a little bit of ranch dressing to dip them in. raw? i don't do poultry raw, but i've had plenty of seafood raw. not that i was crazy about it. raw fish eggs, and fish meat is good as long as there is a sauce comprised of fish sauce, chili peppers, garlic, ginger and lime to go along with it. not too long after this vid was shot, i had squid on a stick. odd, but pretty good. it was grilled.
I think it's just the idea of eating a big bug is what puts people off. That's my problem with a lot of crustacean animals in the ocean...just resembles a giant bug.

I'm not sure whether you're supposed to eat the whole thing. Many fried bugs are eaten after removing the legs, wings, etc.

the grasshoppers and crickets weren't too bad either. the silk and bamboo worms on the other hand, weren't all that great.
