Crickets for lunch?

I love to try new foods and will try most things once but having tried blue cheese- sorry never again. I also have quite a collection of recipes and cookbooks but one that I do not plan to add to she shelf is The Eat-a-Bug Cookbook http://www.olympus.net/dggordon/EatABug.htmby Seattle entomologist David George Gordon who believes that omnivores should open their minds to what Gordon euphemistically calls "charismatic micro fauna". Occasionally, David George teams up with chef Meeru Dhalwala to cook and preach the Eat-a-bug gospel, most recently at the Vancouver bookstore Barbara-Jo's Books to Cooks. (Wonder if my friend Krista attended?)
"We have an real inordinate distaste for insects," Gorden says of North American consumers. Bugs, he points out are packed with protein, amino acids and vitamins. And while it takes 100 pounds of grain to produce 16 pounds of steak, the same amount of grain will produce 50 pounds of crickets. In terms of environmental impact, "Eating a bug is the equivalent of riding a bicycle," Dhalwala says, paraphrasing an article from The New York Times, "Eating beef is the equivalent of driving a big SUV?"
Wonder how many of us will be convinced to eat a beetle for the environment?
November is prime time for grasshoppers, katydids, saturniid moth pupae, termites, ants cockroaches, scorpions, meal worms wax moth larvae, sow bugs and by crickets! Yum! You don't have to hunt the bugs- there are companies that raise them commercially: Grubco; Waxworms Inc; Hatari Invertebrates and Hot Lix. Have to watch for the IPO for these companies, their time will come.
