I can’t believe I forgot to post about my supper that I had on Thursday, May 3! My Dad, who is a professor, had Bug Banquet for his last class. I got to attend

Now, it was no ordinary dinner. In fact, the first thing I ate there was mealworm-pesto pasta. No, it wasn’t pesto pasta that was just called that for fun, there was literally mealworms in it. I must say, it was actually pretty good! The mealworms, and others that tasted them agree with me, tasted like greasy potato chips.

This is the pasta:

Then came the croquets. They had spinach and crickets in a mashed potato “bun.” I think, and so do many others, that they were the best tasting bug food there. (There were also vegetables, Jell-O, and some punch.)

Here are the croquets:

The chocolate-chirp cookies tasted ok. They were cookies with chocolate-chips and crickets. I had some of those. There was also chocolate-kisses, which, have about 7-11 insect parts each.

There was also some Jell-O with mealworms and crickets, but it tasted horrible.

The Jell-O:

The insect foods that I didn’t try were: corn chips with mealworm dip, and ants on a log (actually, there was a problem with the ants so we had to use crickets). The reason I didn’t try them is because it’s quite an experience eating insects, one that can not be done too much unless you are used to it.

The dip:

The ants on a log (sorry it’s fuzzy)

Well, that’s about all. If you want to read about the insects that we ate then go here.
