Yuck to all of the above.
And yet, to those who consume such "delicacies", it's perfectly mundane, I would think. When I heard about chocolate covered insects I was immediately squeemish, myself.
A few years ago it was very trendy to eat "edible flowers". While this isn't particularly unusual, really, I didn't understand the appeal. There are so many things to eat I've never had a desire to sprinkle some flowers on my greens. Some say they are aesthetically pleasing. I prefer mine in a vase, on the table, not on my plate.
