Aussies urged to eat moths

Australians are being urged to get rid of a plague of moths - by eating them.

The "munch a moth" campaign is being led by Jean-Paul Bruneteau, 51, a French-born chef, reports the Daily Telegraph.

He first began eating the brown bogong moths 11 years ago while researching a book on bush tucker eaten by Aborigines.

"They have a lovely popcorn flavour, like hazelnut," he said.

2. Yay!

I am so ready to see this become more popular. It just seems logical. Good protein, low fat... and plentiful supply.

And it WILL become more popular. Heh. Hehehehe... I've been warning people... just you wait... better get used to the idea now!

3. If you toast them dry and then crush them fine and mix into bread....

heck, you wouldn't even know they were in there.....

I got a major infestation of food storage mites in a bunch of flour a few years ago and just shrugged my shoulders and baked with it anyway. More protein.

4. But then there will be a population explosion of French chefs ...

These "import a predator" schemes always have unintended consequences.
