There is competition from other novel protein sources | In Other News: bugs’ menu and foraging for ants in Mexico | Test Corner: Insect snack bars, Part One.
Une punaise du riz pour vous Mme? Prawns, crab and lobster are great for punaise du mer. Interesting and will be hard to grow the concept. Not all that different than eating processed beef, pork fowl and fish but not easy to wrap ones palate around. Rice bugs were/are considered a delicacy in Thailand. Catch one, snap head off and push the partially digested rice into your mouth. I tried it and was embarrassed when it came back out so fast right then/there. My local friends appreciated the try and found the other part hilarious.
Well, I don't blame you: there are many things I couldn't stomach. It doesn't matter that you didn't like the rice bugs: maybe you'll like grasshoppers or termites. I think hosts the world over always appreciate when you try their foods, even if you don't like it in the end. Well done for trying!
Hi Lisa, I know, there are lots of weird foods around! Let me know how you get on with your insect flour products. Also, Entis is a Finnish company producing insect products, including some very yummy-looking chocolate-coated crickets.
