Everyone here saying how awful this sounds, and I'm just sitting here excited to try a new food. I ate mealworms before and they were pretty good, so why not?

It's certainly not what I'm used to but it's definitely less weird than some common foods we typically eat like cheese (which I fucking love, but if you think about it its weird as shit!)

Ever tried chocolate-covered ants? They're lovely!

I'll be honest I'm not really giddy at the idea of eating roasted beetles or anything like that, but if they can make it into hot dogs that taste the same as the other ones I really don't care.
