We've had problems with the computer, so it's taken me a couple of
days
to post the following recipe for Woodlouse Sauce for fish. The
original
book "Why not eat insects?2 was originally published in 1885, and
gives
recipes and suggestions for eating just about every kind of garden
pest.

Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall would be proud of you! :-)

I've eaten insects both knowingly and unknowingly but I know a ten year
old
girl who cooked and ate (with relish - not the sauce type) a dish of
earthworms. She was one of several military family children who were
learning about survival.

And why not?

Why not indeed. We are very reserved when it comes to what we consider food
in this country.
