I went to a lecture in Cardiff last month, Cardiff Beekeepers. Professor Robert Pickard gave a talk about bees around the world. Bee larvae are as nutritious as beef.

When you are hungry the only difference between bee and beef is there is no "f" in bee!

The EU has now given the green light to the use of mealworm in powder form going into our food chain with no marking of the ingredients on their packaging (4g of mealworms in 100g of food). So due to the chitin content of bee brood and mealworm there is the potential for increased sensitivity to these products, asthma being one of them, we may see an increase in hospitalisation. Whatever we eat there is always a potential for allergic reactions. The only way to avoid these products would be to go organic.

Ironically organic products, as they don't use pesticides, might be more likely to have the occasional accidental insect included!

Yeah disgusting.
Like braised liver and kidneys and any other parts of an animal are disgusting.
What's the difference?

what if it's technically 'outside' the animal? my grandmother often used to fry us up a supper of Cerrig hwrdod - sliced, soaked in brine overnight, patted dry then dipped in flour and fried until a golden brown and just eaten with fresh bread and butter
