I'm pointing some insects can be indistinguishable from other kind of meat, if not sausages. Tarantulas taste like shrimp or lobster, ants with flour taste like pork because it's fried in fat.
And I've eaten those if that's enough evidence, it's available in my country.
Seriously, that response of yours was uncalled for. This is not a pissing contest.

The argument is not "insects can't be tasty", the argument is "insects may indeed be tasty but people can taste that it's not beef/chicken". Given that people can tell the difference between, say, grass fed and grain fed beef, the claim that an insect or vegetable-based alternative will be indistinguishable needs more evidence than "nuh uh!"
