We should really invite Daniella Martin out to sudoroom at some point to give an insect cooking class! I believe she's in San Francisco, and is probably one of the most articulate supporters of entomophagy in the US.

Check out her website, Girl Meets Bug, and her really funny 5 minute Ignite talk from last year. Tag line: "Eat bugs, save the world"!

Patrik (who is frankly also somewhat grossed out by the concept, but supports the thinking behind it)

Eating bugs is actually already something of a sudo room tradition, due to the happy coincidence of canned silkworms for sale at Koreana Plaza, a heat gun and crock pot at sudo room, and a flight of fancy:

The recipe needs work. I tried to use the heat gun to add crisp but some sogginess remained. I think they can go from passable to delicious if deep-fried in peanut oil.

when i was a kid, i would occasionally eat giant ants.  surely with a little black beans, oats, and bbq sauce we can make some awesome burgers, maybe still charge $30/plate

Then we make sure that only the rich have access to more. Eating bugs might be a fun novelty, but the solution to the food problem is to stand up against the systematic starvation of poor cities and countries around the world. Next time you see a $30 a plate restaurant in the mission or down town Oakland ask your self who's getting feed and who is left to eat bugs.
