What do insects taste like?

You may think that they have a strong flavour, in reality they are very delicate and generally reminiscent of nuts and dry fruit. 
All insects have their own specific flavour, which will also depend on the preparation. 

But just to give you a few examples: crickets, although also delicate, have a distinctive umami taste reminiscent of walnuts; Buffalo Worms - the larvae of a tiny beetle - will remind you of a toasted hazelnut; Locusts a dried porcini and Mealworms popcorn. 

Give them a try and see for yourself!
