Hvem spiser insekter?

Insekter er det nyeste nye inden for madlavning. Eller er det? Verden over er der allerede 2 milliarder mennesker, der spiser insekter på daglig basis. Men hvem er de? Og hvordan bærer de sig ad?  See all posts →

Smager insekter godt?

Det lader til at der er en fantastisk række af ekstraordinære smagsnuancer som folk i den vestlige verden for det meste går glip af - bare fordi vi ikke gider spise insekter! See all posts →

Chirping in the background – the Grasshopper

Posted by Jen Stout · February 04, 2016 4:37 PM
Their skills aren’t limited to chirping; grasshoppers can also jump impressively far, spit brown liquid at attackers, and congregate in swarming clouds of biblical plague when they get too randy. Grasshoppers are eaten widely, especially in Mexico as chapulines.  Dig deeper →
