My mom's childhood was partly spent in a war-torn country where they had no choice but to eat crickets for protein. Years later, I showed her an article about how some gourmet restaurants are experimenting with cricket preparations. She looked pensive, and said "They should harvest them from the rice fields. I think the rice-fed ones taste best?"

But there are a lot of places in the world where crickets are just part of the cuisine even when they have other food available

Aren't crickets predators? They can be really good. I'm sure they weren't great to your mom though, sorry.
