Fascinating documentary about insect-eating

[ziggy12345]

Shrimps and Prawns have exoskeletons and could be considered the marine equivalent of insects. They don’t taste so bad

You know what, I'm actually starting to wonder if this might be a way to make a relatively small parcel of land pay its way. The main issue is finding an end buyer for the crickets. Given current cultural resistance to human consumption in this country, the following customer streams spring to mind as possibilities:

whole insects for reptile and other exotic pet owners

whole insects for poultry growers

insect flour (basically, baked and ground up insects) as a high protein food supplement for any livestock

If any others spring to anyone else's mind I'd be interested to hear of them.

Trendy restaurants, probably.

Could be a new string to your foraging bow, UE.

Already being done by one of my customers in huge sheds with several staff. It isn't all herbivorous insects though, they need the carnivores too, this makes one hell of a stink for miles around. Lucrative though.

You can't get a Ribeye steak from a Grasshopper though, can you?

When meat gets too pricey for me i think i'll resume my rabbiting, i'll bet my bollocks to a barn dance they casserole better than ants.
