Fried Grasshoppers Melt

Someday I'll open a restaurant in Phuket with a variety of delicacies. Imagine, the menu will be a variety of shrimp, grasshoppers under a honey sauce, roasted garlic with cockroaches, scorpions, with vegetables and mushrooms, soup of Silkworm pupae, larvae with salt and pepper frog curry, eggs of termites in banana leaves, crickets in chocolate and many other goodies. Mm-m! Drool began to flow. No? I am sure that the Thais will appreciate. They especially love the fried bats and soup from swallow's saliva. They eat everything that moves, but it's worth, too, are caught and eaten. On the golf course at night you can see people with flashlights - it's foodies came out to look for bugs.

In the shallows of bays knee-deep in mud crabs collected by Thai people. In Krabi province, there are several companies to collect swallow nests. Dishes of insects are an inexpensive source of protein, so it is popular in Thailand, especially in north-eastern provinces. The caloric content are superior to meat. For example, one hundred grams of beef contains as much protein as one hundred grams of grasshoppers, and the percentage of fat and calories in the last three times less.

Because of chitinous cover insects are valued as a source of calcium. Insects try to be careful, because the number of vitamins and minerals they are superior to other products. For example, a small glass of larvae of the mulberry silkworm contains a daily dose of calcium, copper and vitamin C.
