Was ready to purchase meal-worms when I was confronted with too many choices. Do Martins like Dried,Roasted or live meal-worms? Do Crickets have the same choices? I've looked and searched with no luck finding the answer. Best place to buy?
Thanks for any help.

They will eat live or dried, I have not tried roasted, but maybe some else has? I think most landlords use live mealworms, which we feed from a small ceramic pet dish to keep them from climbing out.

To use dried mealworms, soak them first in some tap water, or they will just blow out of the feeder.
