Exploring Insects as the Future of Food
Locust and silkworms have long been consumed in some regions in Japan. But the organizers of Konchūshoku Night, a recent insect-tasting event held in Tokyo, look to shine a light on the food value of bugs and bring the creepy crawlers more into the culinary mainstream.
Dishes at the event included a couscous of black bee larvae, a grasshopper-and-worm tsukudani, a salad of rice with cereals and Thai weaver ants cooked au naturel, and Dubia cockroaches from Argentina skewered with fruit.
