These little freaks right here produce a form of milk protein crystal, meaning in the future it might be possible to not just eat the bug, but milk the bug as well.

HOWEVER, that raises the question, what is "bug milk"? Because if you go by the precedent of nut milks, it's a milk of ground and processed bug. But if you go by the precedent of animal milk, then it would refer to the milk FROM the bug

Without clear rules dictating how to speak here, how is someone to know which product they're getting??

    Yeah it was wild, just these people being like "this is not good ice cream, no" to researchers that are like "it's made of bugs!" to their victims absolute horror and disgust.

      If someone told me it's liquefied bug meant to imitate ice cream the cooking freak in me might try it. Like, I even tried a scallop for the first time today, that's like an oceanic trash eating bug that can't even move. I hated it but i tried it. But don't be like "this is ice cream" if there's neither ice nor cream, gott dang it
