The retailer will start selling roasted crickets – described as “crunchy in texture with a rich smoky flavour” – in 250 of its stores from Monday, capitalising on the growing prominence of bush tucker in the global warming debate.

Re: Insects on the menu for anybody?
We've probably been eating insects for ages. I have returned several packs of rice, still sealed, that had rice weevil infestations.
I've found similar bugs in sealed packs of pasta too.
