What's everyone's experience/opinions on eating grubs and insects?
I ate my first grub recently. Was scrubbing out a pot with some sandy soil and found a little white thing crawling around. I hadn't eaten much that day, otherwise I think the idea would have been abhorrent, but I popped it in my mouth and bit down. It wasn't like I expected; the skin is super chewy and I just swallowed it whole once the juice had been squeezed out. Didn't taste like anything much.
But for the casual camper is there any practical point to collecting crawly things, or is it only in survival situations that it's worthwhile? Here's a brilliant video of Mears showing how to collect ant larvae; looks like a fairly efficient way of getting protein.
