Deep-Fried Tarantula Is A Thing

July 25, 2014 by Chris Durso

deep-fried-tarantula

We hate to bug you like this [sorry], but eating insects is gaining popularity. Perhaps it’s because everything is better when dipped in batter and fried, and the Deep-Fried Tarantula exists.

Brought to us by The Bug Chef, this eight-legged treat is only a small part of the argument in favor of dining on critters. This is because insects are high in nutrients and lower in the food additives and antibiotics found in our four-legged food sources.

The best part, is that insects are a food source that we could essentially never run out of, and is easy enough to find. Just go zap-up some dinner in the backyard.

Should We Eat Bugs?

January 20, 2014 by Chris Durso

Wait… Before you answer that question, watch the video provided below by TED-Ed. Beginning at a time when humans actually considered them a delicacy, the film goes on to pinpoint when and why we may have lost our taste for critters.

TED-Ed also makes a pretty convincing argument of why we should eat bugs now. Please watch…

Tea Cup Set Made From Cicada Parts

March 12, 2013 by Chris Durso

Cicadas don’t come around too often. But when they do they’re loud and swarmy and really mess things up. Artist Carrianne Bullard went and showed those annoying bugs who’s boss — creating a tea cup set using a few spare cicada body parts. We suggest steeping a bit longer than usual to cover up the taste of wing.

There Ain’t No Party Like A Bug Cupcake Party

April 19, 2012 by Chris Durso

In what seems like a good way to help kill an overstayed food trend, an insect cupcake party was recently held. The bug-fest was to help celebrate the release of The Insect Cookbook in The Netherlands. The cookbook is infested with recipes, where bugs are the main source of protein — or gross-out factor, depending on what camp you’re in.

And not to be outdone by its miniature versions, the party also boasted an attempt at the world’s largest grasshopper cake. Yes, with actual grasshoppers included.

Vegetable Bugs Want You To Know What You Eat

February 27, 2012 by Chris Durso

Vegetable bugs were created by BBDO Moscow for an ad series for Greenpeace. Titled “Do you know what you eat?” the ads look to educate consumers about genetically-modified foods. Apparently the DNA of genetically-modified plants may contain the genes of insects, animals, or even viruses [yum] urging you to keep an eye out for “GMD-free” labels, and yadda, yadda, Carrot Scorpion!!!
