Crickets apparently don't taste much beyond "crunchy". If you want tasty bugs, you'd have to go to Vietnam or North Thailand.

Two of the most notable one was what the locals call "clam worms". They appear for a short season between September to November in the paddy fields. Those are so prized because the really taste like clams.

The other insect was a kind of waterbug. They're raised mainly for their green-apple like perfume.
