I guess it depends what kind of chemicals they're made of.
The blood of earth mammals tastes and smells like metal, because of its iron content.
I was never allowed to take chemistry in school, so I can't think of what could be in a headcrab's blood that might explain the colour. Maybe sulfur?
Sulfur smells like rotten eggs, or old piss. The blood usually gets drained from an animal before it's butchered, but yeah... I can't imagine that the meat is going to taste very nice to a human.

Stuffed Headcrabs. They're the perfect shape for it.

They taste like a cross between scorpion and cat, with just a hint of calamari.

I figured they taste like meatloaf badly prepared with no sauce because it sort of looks like a roast headcrab and how I imagine they would smell.

My bet would be the taste of baked cockroaches. Some people say they are yummy (never tried myself).

actually guys, we wouldn't share the same DNA code, so we wouldn't be able to eat them anyway.

Why would a different DNA code mean we wouldn't be able to eat them? We have a different number of genes and chromosomes to every other living thing on earth. I suppose alien nature could make them poisonous, and they could possibly have a different DNA system (I don't know triple helix or something), or maybe RNA, but that doesn't inherently make them inedible does it? So long as we can break them down for protein or whatever, I don't see the problem...
