Mark/Robert,
The cooking show had some cooked crickets. I can't remember if it was in the PI or Thailand. They looked ok and I think I would try them. The Balute.... Not so sure...
You should see this show and what the man ate in Thailand....
I read years ago about a guy doing research on American Indians out in Utah. I think they were trying to figure out how people managed to live around the Great Salt Lake but this did not really stick with me. What did stick in my head was that they figured that grasshoppers landing in the lake would be blown by the wind to shore where they would be coated in salt and dried by the sun. This preserved them and made them very easy to gather.
A cup of dried salted grasshoppers had the calories of either a Big Mac or a Quarter Pounder.
Hungry?
Later,
Dan
