- theandrewbailey 10y agoThere's not much demand for it outside of Japanese cuisine. I keep hearing about how much better crickets and other insects are more efficient for protein, but supply and demand is why I have yet to see any sold for human consumption.
- rawTruthHurts 10y ago"There's not much demand for it outside of Japanese cuisine." Some Spaniards will beg to differ.

- aandrieiev 10y agoActually, flour made from crickets has been already available for some time: http://www.amazon.com/Cricket-Flour-made-100-22/dp/B00OMCTODQ http://www.amazon.com/Cricket-Flour-made-100-22/dp/B00OMCTOD...
- Pamar 10y agoIn Italy it's pretty normal to eat them.
- kkylin 10y agoI think they're fairly commmonly eaten in East Asia, e.g., Korea & coastal parts of China. Both as part of a meal and as snacks (dried squid is fairly common in Asian markets).
- sp332 10y agoThe little suckers on the tentacles are a pain to deal with. They can even get stuck in your mouth if you eat it wrong.
