A Tasty Treat?
Canned insects anyone?
According to Thai Tastes, the website that sells them:
Thai rural communities like many in Asia and South America know that eating insects provide a valuable source of protein, minerals and vitamins as well as a tasty snack. Crickets and grasshoppers or locusts are a seasonal delicacy while the giant water beetles know as mangdana are used in salads.
Using the latest canning and pasteurization techniques Insect Inter, has made it possible to ship them worldwide. The insects are fried to make crunchy snacks, that go so well with a cold beer. Try some, either just for the experience or to be remembered for your next party.
Now for the scary part… I remember an acquaintance of my Dad’s actually ate stuff like this when I was a kid. Try being 10 and politely turning down cricket cookies. The polite part doesn’t really come off too well.
