Australia's Aborigines have eaten bugs for centuries but now an insect breeder is encouraging everyone to try nibbling on creepy crawly cuisine. Entomologist Skye Blackburn breeds edible bugs and sells them as novelty gifts.
The businesswoman puts crickets and mealworms into lollipops or covers them with chocolate as a 'tasty' treat. "Eating insects is a fairly new concept," she told Sky News. "It is a little bit unique and most people wouldn't expect to get a gift like this but they have been really popular this Christmas. "We try to put the bugs in an edible form which people would recognise."
Ms Blackburn grinds up roasted mealworms and uses the flour-like powder to make other foodstuffs like banana bread and biscuits.
