| Summary |
"An estimated 2 billion people worldwide regularly consume insects, yet bugs are rarely eaten in the West. Why are some disgusted at the thought of eating insects while others find them delicious? Edible Insects provides a broad introduction to the role of insects as human food, from our prehistoric past to current food trends, and explores how they could be a solution to our current global food shortage. On the menu are beetles, butterflies, grasshoppers and grubs of many kinds, with stories that highlight traditional methods of insect collection, preparation, consumption and preservation as well as the culinary uses of creepy-crawlies across many cultures." -- Provided by publisher |
