Why not. I'm sure it's about as good as ants :)

If they were pollinated/caprified, yes - such as dried Calimyrna figs.

Couldn't they be picked out of the fruit?  I don't think, consciously, I would want see it and eat it...Sounds like these wasps are tiny... why would they live in the fruit?

Ya gotta have a well balanced diet. Fruit with a little meat. Don't worry you never would even notice them. That little crunch.....Is it a seed or a wasp? Hmmmm it's all good!

We used to say that about take outs in NYC. Is it shrimp shell or... :)

Gross, yuck... (Gagging): okay, look I'm Asian, we eat just about everything. But gosh darn it I didn't know I was feasting on decomposed putrid candied bugs!!
Eww.

But... I must say if I have been munching on "decomposed" bugs they sure taste good. Is it really bug? Is that why its so crunchy?

come on folks, it's just a tiny insect. you won't even taste it. do you guys eat out often? if so, trust me. you had plenty :)

You're really only eating them if you eat figs where the wasp actually exists. I know there aren't any wasps in Georgia, and I don't eat store-bought fruit, so... No wasps for me.

Not that I care, I eat crickets and tripe and brains and all kinds of other stuff people find weird and/or gross.

(Eat with your taste buds, not your mind!)

did i mentioned that my 8 yr old told his whole school that koreans eat insects? i told him about all my gastronomic adventures and since i'm from korea, he figured that koreans eat insects. i had earful from my wife about telling kids certain things.

I want my fig without other living creatures!
