I believe there is much research to try and predict "foods of the future" - how can the planet sustain the world population, how to cope with protein shortage etc?? Insects seem to be very high on the list.

I have personal interest in this, as I have always believed that even if I had the athletic qualities required, I could never make "Koh-Lanta" (a rubbish TV programme) where people are stranded on a tropical island and have to undergo a series of tests and competitions - one of them is, inevitably, to eat live grubs in large quantity. I thought I could probably cope with grilled grasshoppers and grilled scorpions, but not with big white  grubs like cockshafer - the kind we find in compost heaps
