This is apparently a relatively established cuisine.  I picked up (on sale),
_The Eat-A-Bug Cookbook: 33 ways to cook grasshoppers, ants, water bugs,
spiders, centipedes, and their kin_ by David George Gordon, author of _The
Complete Cockroach_.  The pictures are kind of neat, (especially the Scorpion
Scalloppine) but I'm not sure I could ever get over my sqeamishness.
However...I have considered indulging in some sotletie subterfuge, and
recreating their likeness with some other foods, inviting people over for supper
and casually leave the cookbook on the coffee table.  I'm not evil, I just have
a very twisted sense of humor :-)
