Strawberry, chocolate, vanilla … cicada?
If you're an adventurous diner, you might want to get yourself over to Sparky's Homemade Ice Cream in Columbia, Mo., to see if they have any leftover cicada ice cream. Yes, cicada as in the BUG. As in BUG ice cream.

I am pretty sure U.S. food safety laws permits a small amount of insect parts in processed cereals. Think about it the next time you eat your favorite cereal.
At any rate, someone's pest (or pet) is someone else's delicacy.

I know. I'm not criticising anyone for doing it. People can eat whatever the hell they want. I just can't eat an insect. It is a psychological block that I cannot (and frankly have no desire to) overcome.

I can and love to eat crickets, bee larvae, and anything along those lines..
But this may be a bit too much for me.. At least probably till I try it..

I'm sure it (as it rodent droppings) is allowed under U.K./E.U. laws. Bit hard to get rid of those critters.
I was making a strawberry rhubarb pie today and was shifting some flour (improperly stored). Noticed something odd in it and picked out a hairy caterpillar-like object. I was just going to use the flour but my wife made be throw it and the rest that was in the container that it was stored in away.
