I once had grasshoppers (inago) cured with some sort of soy sauce marinate. Was that the same thing? They were pretty yummy, similar to eating little shrimps with shells and all.

The other insect I have tried was the dried larvae of silk worms, which are apparently quite popular in Korea. I found the taste of that one vile and repulsive. Hard to describe. Maybe it's an acquired taste, or perhaps I did not eat it in the right way. It can't be that bad if it is popular.
