Most available applications of the bugs in the global North are in flour form, so the texture is not such a big issue. You add them to other dishes to supplement nutrition. I personally dislike this approach to food, but if it gets you trying them, why not.

If you want to try and make your own, search for videos of how to make "tacos de chapulines" (it helps if you can understand Spanish). In my experience, the simplest, tastiest bug dish I've had.
