The only thing I would eat that has anything to do with bugs is honey. Anything else is involuntary.
I was eating a salad a few years ago, and I crunched on something and it had this Piney aromatic flavor... And I wasn’t sure what it was but it was a salad that a lot of stuff in it so I figured it was a something a spice or whatever...
Fast-forward a year or two later, I was on my back deck and it’s screened in and there was a stink bug crawling up the screen so I went and got a piece of toilet paper and I crunchd the stink bug as it was crawling up the screen and I want to throw it away and I got a whiff and I thought... That’s that’s that smell I tasted in that salad.

and yet vegans are against humans consuming honey because it exploits bee workers and stills the fruits of their labour

Honey is probably the product most frequently mistaken as vegan-friendly. There is a common misconception that honey bees make their honey especially for us, but this couldn’t be much further from the truth.
Honey is made by bees for bees, and their health can be sacrificed when it is harvested by humans. Importantly, harvesting honey does not correlate with The Vegan Society’s definition of veganism, which seeks to exclude not just cruelty, but exploitation.
...The importing of honey into the UK also increases our carbon footprint through the emissions associated with transport. Of the honey consumed in the UK, 95% of it is imported, mostly from China and Turkey.
Vegan alternatives
Unlike bees, humans can thrive without honey in their diets. Luckily, there are a whole host of readily-available vegan alternatives for those with a sweet tooth. Date syrup, maple syrup, molasses, butterscotch syrup, golden syrup and agave nectar are all viable options, whether you need a product for baking, cooking, as a sweetener for drinks, or to eat a spoon of out of the jar at the end of a long day.
so go kill and injury and steal from all of the plants you want!
