A recent comment (05/20/2006) from David Gracer prompted us to create this new page devoted to Entomophagy, the habit of eating insects. While many different insects can be eaten, there are some that have a long reputation of being delicacies in various parts of the world, including Giant Water Bugs in Thailand. We are going to request that David search through our archives and indicate which old letters need to be moved to this new page. We know are readers are beginning to salivate at the thought. You can always visit David's own site, at Sunrise Land Shrimp.
A Gourmand's Feast
(05/13/2008) Plate of Edible Bugs - locust pizza, tarantula, cricket cookies
I've been looking through your Edible Insects page and absolutely loving Dave's comments.  Although I've not eaten any insects (or arachnids), at least not knowingly, I'm not squeamishly opposed to the thought.  I'm fascinated by the variety of bugs eaten and by the ways they are prepared.  Anyway, I came across this fabulous display at an insectarium in St. Louis this weekend, and I thought it would fit nicely on your edible insects page. Thank you for all the time you put into this website.  It's very informative and full of wit (specifically unnecessary carnage page).
