In my past I worked in many kitchens and I became a solid foodie….I enjoy cooking, the more elaborate the better, I am famous for my campfire beans, chili and pork on the grill…..I am always looking for a new recipe to try…..and then there is this……
Beetles, caterpillars and wasps could supplement the diets of billions of people globally and help feed livestock, the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation said on Monday, calling for more investment in edible insect farming.
“One of the many ways to address food and feed insecurity is through insect farming,” the report said, pointing out that insects were “nutritious, with high protein, fat and mineral contents”.

Appetizing, eh? How hungry will you have to be?
Bugs. Recommended by POWs, global 3rd world refugees and prisoners everywhere. “It what’s for dinner” 🙂
