No. Most UK beetles will taste _disgusting_ (they do it deliberately).

In general, adult insects aren't edible,

I remember seeing fried cockroaches for sale at the Sunday market in
Bangkok

One case where I declined to taste the local delicacy

So if it had been sheeps' eyes you would have done?

I might have done, but that's more middle eastern

I've never been a fan of cockroaches since one fell in my mouth while I
was sleeping - big bugger it was
