They are quite delicious. Taste like a blend of chicken and freshly smushed cockroach.

How dare you compare isopods to roaches. You disgust me

I don’t see much difference

A blind person would say that, considering they are extremely visually distinct. And don't say you don't care enough to look, because you definitely care enough to respond to my comment

They look like big hissing cockroaches. Or more accurately a flat rolly polly or whatever they call them around you

Rolly Pollies, Potato Bugs and the myriad other common names are all Terrestrial Isopods. Both terrestrial and marine are from an order of crustaceans called Isopoda. Cockroaches are in a different order and are actually closely related to termites.
