Tbh though, I was expecting to see a guy wearing green jeans or a female receiving a swift kick between her legs. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 On Sunday, Sainsbury’s became the first supermarket in the UK to start selling insects for human consumption. I’ve just been to my local and picked up two packets. I’ll let you know how I get on. I’ve said for a while that this is the future right here and people of the west should embrace it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what kind of shop sold them but crickets were on sale for consumption in Ayr in the post-war period. Dipped in chocolate too if you wanted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamamafegan Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 So I’ve just tried them. V tasty I have to say. It’s just like eating BBQ crisps really. My main complaint would be at the price - it’s 1.50 for a bag and that only gets you 12g. At the moment it’s a bit gimmicky to eat these but in time I think these will become more popular and hopefully the prices will come down. Would definitely recommend that people go and give them a shot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I used to have a pet lizard and I would feed him live crickets that would be sent to me in the mail, never once did I try eating one but I really wish I had now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Did Mrs throbber sit on it or eat it? Nah this was when I was a teenager, was a pretty cool pet to have at the time but can’t imagine I’ll be getting one ever again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would definitely recommend that people go and give them a shot. I tried crickets and mealworms at some science thing in Dundee last year. I would agree they were quite tasty. The only annoying thing was that bits of the crispy skin/shells got stuck between my newly flossed teeth. ETA Anybody tried the midgie coated burgers in Argyll? https://www.scotsman.com/lifestyle/scottish-hotel-adds-midge-burgers-to-the-summer-menu-1-4757558 Edited November 21, 2018 by Melanius Mullarkey 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
