Preparing and cooking palm weevil larvae

Posted by 0ip on March 29, 2016

We've already shared some footage of Josh and Ben gathering palm weevil larvae in Uganda.

Now... what do you do with them?

When you pierce them and release their fatty juices, you grease the pan and get the 'real oil'. 

The ingredients used in this recipe are

  • spring onions
  • ginger
  • tomato
  • chili
  • red pepper
  • garlic
  • and palm weevil larvae of course!

BUGS the film will be released later this year. Would you like to get notified?

My search for insects that would feed the world (2)

I kept roaming the vast Expo area in Milan – all those impressive national pavilions showing how the respective countries were “feeding the planet”, as the Universal Exhibition’s theme suggested. Yet all the nations that regularly eat insects – they had somehow decided to hide to the world the fact that they do. More →
