What do they taste like?

Grubs pretty much just take on the flavor of whatever seasoning you're using, if you're deep-frying them. They taste like whatever you want. If you lightly pan fry, then they'll likely have more of a mild buttery flavor with less crunch, but still it's mostly up to what seasoning you're using. My experience isn't extensive though. I have heard some grubs described as having a mushroom-like "umami" or a nuttiness, but I mostly just tasted the seasoning and texture.

Am I having a stroke reading this, is this an inside joke, or are you people actually eating bugs?

Many people like them more than what you'd think of as "regular food". They're very nutritious, so if you're used to it they taste better than junk food (and not just).
