I had deep fried grasshoppers in Mexico. Just imagine eating a handful of popcorn with some peanuts. Same texture, more or less same taste. I did finish the plate and did not gag at all. I would't go out of my way to order it, but I wouldn't say no if it was offered again.
On the same trip, I tried a live beetle and OMG, it was disgusting beyond belief. Just think some awful chemical taste. Unfortunately that's the reality for some desperately poor people in less developed nations.

What's an innocent misconception about your hobby/profession that drives you up the wall?
wnose 1 year ago • 100%
There are 2 types of mines: open pit and underground (tunnels, etc). Open pit: they dynamite certain areas, then get big trucks to haul the rubble. They keep going until all of the minerals have been extracted. Example: nickel mines in Cuba. IMO, not very dangerous as long as safety precautions are followed. There is some risk that the walls of the open pit mine might collapse.
Underground: this is the type of mining with real danger. Anytime you hear of a mining incident, it's likely to be underground. They do take a LOT of precautions which is why modern mining is a lot safer compared to 80 years ago. The ever present danger is collapse of the tunnel or formation.
