A local ice cream shop is selling a new flavor.  It looks and  sounds gross to me.  The honey flavored treat contains crickets.

 

When I was in China and Viet Nam, I saw street vendors selling deep fried crickets and grass hoppers.  I saw teens walking around eating them like popcorn from paper cones.

 

No way was I trying them...though I  do eat food some others find revolting...no bugs for me.

 

Anyone up for a taste?

I've heard of Rocky Road ice cream, maybe they could call this flavor "Buggy Whip"?

@Carmie Just me but I'd prefer the Purina Dog Chow kibble we'd dare one another to eat when I was a kid.

I would never intentionally eat any type of bug or insect.  Too gross.

I do not under stand the push to eat crickets, fake meat...I am not jumping on that band wagon.

Interesting @Carmie!  I like crunch in my ice cream but I won't be having it!
