chocolate-covered grasshoppers

DateFriday, September 17, 2004 at 11:44AM






Got together with Allison and Jodi last night, and Allison gave us a chipotle chocolate bar, a gift from Lyanne. YUM. Something irresistable about the combination of chocolate and chili pepper. Then again, it's hard to think of a chocolate combination that doesn't work.

Wait, I just thought of one: chocolate and meat. Chocolate-covered steak just doesn't turn my crank, really. Though a quick Google search did turn up a rather disturbing chocolate marinade for steak.

My mom used to tell me about eating chocolate-covered grasshoppers as a delicacy in Japan. Holy cow. I just checked out the other recipes on that link I found through Google, which was to page by an entomology department page at Iowa State University. Recipes include:

Rootworm Beetle Dip

Chocolate Chirpie Chip Cookies

Mealworm Fried Rice

Crackers and Cheese Dip with Candied Crickets


Egads.

A poll question: Would YOU try a chocolate-covered grasshopper if you were offered one?
