Had to look it up, but no.  I would though.  

 

I tried balut.  If you tried it blindfolded, it tastes like a boiled egg with chicken noodle soup broth.  But with open eyes.... tough to do.

 

One thing I don’t see myself every trying is boiled silkworm larvae.  Popular in Korea.

Yeah the insect eggs and larvae dont bother me at all.  Last ball game I went to we had fried crickets.  but the balut makes me shiver

You might change your mind if you ever got downwind of a pot of boiling silkworm larvae.  One of the worst smells I have taken in, and to think it’s associated with food.... bleh!

 

Fried crickets are pretty good.  Ate some raw grasshoppers once.
