I doubt you'd want to eat the stink bugs infesting us now.
I accidentally chomped on one thinking a piece of pork chop had fallen
off my plate.

Oh, no. Yuck.

It did not taste like cinnamon.

I know what I've heard for a few years now, stink bugs/China/etc.
But it was my husband who saw this on some show and called me
to check it out, saying So much for stink bugs coming from China.

This outdoor food market was selling stink bugs to eat and they
were identical in appearance to these bugs that have been finding
their way into my house every so often for the last five years
or so. I wouldn't be able to tell them apart from each other if
they are, in fact, a different type of stink bug. Which I guess
they are.

I'd be a vegetarian before putting bugs on the menu anyway.
