Worms taste far better than bugs....although bugs are crunchy...

1. No...

But a 'fellow student' once played a nasty trick on me then she told everybody I ate worms... (an outright lie.)

2. Not on purpose

Several times by accident.

3. No

worms were my pets, and I was scared of bugs.

I did eat dog biscuits on purpose, though. :shrug:

5. Do they?

Never had ants, but I had potato bugs. Those aren't so tasty...

6. Maybe TMI but

they weren't squishy like I think a potato bug must be. It was just a drop of that taste and nothing lingering. I only ate the black ants. I was very discerning.

8. Nope, can't say that I did.

I did, however, collect snails in a shoe box until they started to smell up my bedroom.

Ewwww.

11. I once tried a cricket.

It's one of those stories your mom loves to tell your dates when you're in high school...and mine did.

I was only a toddler when I tried the cricket though and can't remember any taste sensation, sorry.

12. I once ate dirt on a bet. There were probably some bugs in it.

Can't remember what they tasted like though.

13. No, but

I did eat some pinkie mice once. Never, ever drink tequila while doing a marathon work detail at a reptile facility!
