Not by me! I couldn’t eat an amphibian.Unlike the dragonfly larvae which are really tucking in. They are tadpoles, and they’re about3cm long now.
c) the bottom of the wildlife pond.
Those look like tadpoles to me. From your picture I can’t tell how large they are.
They aren’t delicious starters until they grow up, lose the tails, grow legs and then have those legs ripped off and eaten.
