Dizzy Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 ....Insects emit less greenhouse gases than cattle and require less feed, supposedly making them environmentally-friendly. ....By 2020, you will be buying insects in supermarkets. ....it will start with ground-up insects in sauces and burgers. Grinding them up will make them look more palatable ....In 1885 the Victorian writer Vincent Holt wrote a book suggesting the rural poor try recipes such as woodlouse sauce. It did not catch on http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/eu/8739313/Roasted-crickets-and-toasted-ants-coming-to-you-courtesy-of-EU-research-millions.html Don't worry though as itis nothing new as apparently "Those enjoying their Sunday lunch may also wish to consider that some studies found so many insect fragments slip into food that we eat the equivalent of 500g of bugs per person, per year" Nice... maybe ... but probably not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil Sid Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Puts me in mind of that advert where they catch the insects to stop them eating the crops and then make kebabs out of them for extra income. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted September 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Having a slow day???? I didn't think I was... why do you ask Peter ? At least I'm more active and quicker than you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy Posted September 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Not seen that advert Evils... kebab meat is probably full of things we are better not thinking or knowing about anyway. Maybe insect kebabs would be better after all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
