Dutch Cuisine Now Includes Bugs, Worms, etc.
A Cotsco-like big box store with dozens of locations across Holland is now actively marketing a mixture of insects and worms, etc as a food staple for Dutch folk and is gaining some traction, according to a detailed story in the NYTimes yesterday.
The story mentions that such foods are not only eminently edible but are healthy and are better for the environment than say raising corn to feed cattle and meat, etc.
Though the bug dealer has yet to 'get the bugs out of' his scheme when in Holland you may want to drive some worms or insects for a Dutch culinary treat!

Sligro is a supplier to hotels and caterers.
They don't sell bugs at the local supermarket, though no doubt a few brave restaurateurs will have them on the menu at some point.
No problem with that at all.
