I haven't eaten many.

In Africa I've had Mopani worms - they are large white grubs that live under the bark of certain trees. They are normally grilled over an open flame. The outside skin of the grub turns to ashes and adds some "crispiness" to the flavor. The taste is tangy - it's not bad at all. You could do a lot worse.

I've always wondered about cooked tarantulas. I think they were a delicacy for the Apaches, or perhaps other Native Americans in the southwest. Same basic idea - just grilled over an open flame and the body eaten. The fire takes off the spiny hairs on the outer body of the spider. However, I don't want to encourage this stuff - I'd like to see the desert wildlife preserved.
