Still Waters Posted November 17, 2018 #1 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Sainsbury's has become the first UK high street supermarket to stock edible insects. Barbecue-flavour roasted crickets are being put on sale in 250 stores across the country from Sunday. The Eat Grub's "smoky BBQ crunchy roasted crickets" are described as "crunchy in texture with a rich smoky flavour". Packets of the insects will cost £1.50. The grubs have been on sale from online supermarket Ocado for at least five months, with mixed reviews. https://news.sky.com/story/sainsburys-launches-150-edible-insect-range-in-uk-supermarket-first-11556476 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+susieice Posted November 17, 2018 #2 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Not something I'd be over willing to try but I'm sure there are a lot of people who will enjoy them. I see nothing wrong with offering them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander CMG Posted November 18, 2018 #14 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Personally, I would rather have natural honey flavoured crockets than Barbecue-flavour roasted crickets, or crickets on their own but the wings and legs get stuck in the throat if you went them on their own.
