On: The Rise of Edible Insect Farming

[arkh]

Insects can give some different texture to a dish. Just don't do an "only insect with some seasonning" dish: make something like veggies or pasta and add some insects for the crunchy feel. Think Paella, not barbecued steak.

You know, traditional paellas already have snails as an ingredient, which aren't insects but I think still have the cultural unfamiliarity to Western palates.

As a Frenchman I had to taste snails. Dreadful. There is no taste, just some earthy blob drowning in butter and garlic.

I tried three times in three different restaurants and I was disappointed every time.

Take them out of their shell and tell people they're a type of clam and they'll never know the difference.
