PLEASE DON’T YOU TELL ME IT’S BAD LUCK TO KILL A CRICKET.

It's only bad luck if you don't eat it..........

I’ll try almost any food as long as it doesn’t stink too bad.

people rarely eat them, and then usually only as a snack.

here is an article about insect eating in rural Laos:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4552653/

A total of 1059 adults (Sex ratio F/M: 1.2, 30 ethnic groups), and 256 vendors were enrolled. A total of 1025 (96.8%) lay people were currently insect consumers, 135 (13.0%) daily or weekly consumers, and 322 (31.1%) consumed several times per month. For the majority (575, 55.6%) the consumption was infrequent (less than a few times per year)

that would be about what I saw in rural Africa, and here in the Rural Philippines, although it is becoming less common here since cheap farmed fish and chickens are available.

they told us with straight faces to go to go out in the brush near the hay barn and fill an empty coffee can with big grasshoppers for a dinner dish ...

LOL. When my grandsons were younger they were watching me swat some flies one day. They asked me what I did with them so I told them we put them in the freezer, and when we had enough we made fly soup. They thought that was pretty cool... until the day they realized I was joking.

Crickets are a “clean” source of food for humans as put forth by God in the bible.
