Insects as Food & alternative protein [General]
2016 Feb 17
The Canadian Museum of Nature has a super exhibit on now until March 28, 2016 "Bugs Outside the Box".
They have a gumball-type machine that dispenses a bubble of dried/edible insects to try and they also sell a selection in the gift shop.
We tried the salt & pepper meal worms. Crunchy and...earthy. In-line with Hungry Pete's comment - there was a honey mustard and hot & spicy variety.
An excellent exhibit and the snacks are an added bonus.

Some moths got into a big bag of red cargo rice we have.
Unwilling to toss it all away and reading on google that they are perfectly harmless . . .
I put the bag outside in the -20C cold. That kills them.
Plus I'm going to wash the rice and cook it.
:-) I don't think I'll be eating any moths, but even if I do . . . more protein ?
And this never happened before with regular white rice.
What's so different about red cargo rice ?
