Day Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Would you eat one? Quote Sainsbury's has become the first UK high street supermarket to stock edible insects. Barbecue-flavour roasted crickets are being put on sale in 250 stores across the country from Sunday. The Eat Grub's "smoky BBQ crunchy roasted crickets" are described as "crunchy in texture with a rich smoky flavour". Packets of the insects will cost £1.50.

Van der MoodHoover Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Pfft....Fortnum and Mason on Piccadilly have been doing insects in jars as delicacies for years. Me and @Angry Ram know.....I've watched him browsing the foie gras (watch him deny it) ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anon Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 No, I wouldn't eat one. I'm willing to try and get on board with the idea of eating bugs, since they're a cheap and environmentally sustainable source of protein, but I don't feel like the people advocating this are meeting me half way. They don't even attempt to make these things appetizing. I like meat, but if I paid money for a meal or a cut from the butchers I wouldn't accept just having a full carcass dumped on my plate. The same goes for these bugs. Is it really too much to ask that they be ground up into patties or something rather than just served as they are?

Used to meet a mate on the Friday commuter train home from London and we took it in turns to provide a picnic of a bottle of wine plus nibbles. his job moved from Canary Wharf to a fund managers in Mayfair. So when it was his turn, it was a bottle of barolo and pork pie from Fortnums. Heaven........my efforts from the Little Waitrose near Monument were quite poor in comparison....?
