Entomophagy on wikipedia
Thai fast food sellers are enjoying a boom in rat sales, as people learn to love the taste of the rodent. Year of the Rat in Thailand. (Re-sizes the browser)
More: Ratatouille in Vietnam
Entomophagy on wikipedia now lists grow-a-brain as a source (Under “External links", at the bottom). Yea! My first mention on wikipedia was for another culinary off-topic - Amezaiku, the Japanese candy craft artistry

It's Hard to Eat Just One
In Nigeria’s far north-eastern Borno State, man is biting back against the desert locust. Swarms of migrating locusts seasonally strip the semi-arid region of its scanty vegetation and crops.
But Gambo Ibrahim, 27, a locust hunter, says the people of Borno have found a way of converting the desert locust’s assault into an annual banquet.
They eat the locusts which they call Desert shrimps

Welcome to Yahoo Picks Readers today. Please visit all 120 categories of "Grow-a-Brain"
”Grow-a-Brain” is comprised of over 120 unusual subjects, but somehow, our collection of Entomophagy (Insect Eating) had been the most popular of them all. So we are going to turn it into a large “Resource Directory”, which means that some of the links in it may not stand alone on their own as the ones in the other subjects. If you are not interested in bug-food, please scroll down to the next posting.
It's hard to describe the mix of revulsion and wonder you feel eating your first Bug snacks, but it’s all part of a shared mother/daughter experience

“…In "ISAN" area markets, it is possible to eat bugs like scorpions, grasshoppers, larva, beetles and even sometimes dogs. These days, farmers are making more by harvesting lice than rice. Now Bangkok residents also appreciate eating bugs. Canned grasshoppers, locusts, water beetles, crickets, silkworm pupae and ant eggs are available at the supermarket. Bangkok residents think of bugs as a healthy, low-calorie treat.”
