Instructions

1. To prepare, remove the legs from the crickets and the legs and wings from the grasshoppers. The worms are prepared in the same way, except that you don`t have to remove the legs and wings.
2. Nature
3. Fry the crickets and grasshoppers over medium heat with oil until lightly brown. Fry the crickets with a little oil, the grasshoppers with plenty of oil. Briefly place the insects on kitchen paper to drain off. Then salt and e.g., season paprika, chilli, pepper or garlic.
4. You can also roast the crickets well in flavored oil, so there is no need to add seasoning.
5. Aromatic
6. Heat the insects in a pan with a little oil and e.g., Fry the garlic, chilli or onions with the crickets or grasshoppers until they are lightly brown. Salt the insects and serve with the fried additions.
7. In a cheese coat
8. Beat an egg, dip the crickets or grasshoppers, then roll them in a breadcrumbs and parmesan mixture and fry them brown in oil.
9. You can also serve hot or sweet dips with the roasted crickets.
10. If you don`t necessarily want to see what you are eating the first time, you can also use the crickets or worms in e.g., use scrambled eggs, pancake or batter. To do this, fry the insects beforehand and then add them.
11. Crickets or worms in batter
12. Fry the worms or crickets in oil over low heat and set aside. Mix the ingredients into a pancake batter, lightly salt, add to the pan and fry until lightly brown. Spread the seared worms or crickets on the still liquid surface of the pancake, turn and fry the second side until lightly brown.
13. Salted worms
14. Fry the worms in oil until brown and sprinkle with salt or a mixture of spices with salt.
15. For quite a few people in this world, insects are a normal food and an important source of protein, for some a delicacy. For us Westerners, the aversion to insects is not in our genes, but in our heads. When I look at some other specialties, insects are actually still harmless. You don`t necessarily have to go shopping in the pet shop: there are good mail order providers for food insects on the web. They are usually delivered freeze-dried.
16. Crickets taste slightly nutty and like roasted sunflower seeds. The locusts taste similar, but a little flatter and they are drier. Buffalo worms are very fragrant. They taste like nuts and roasted sunflower seeds. Mealworms have a slightly nutty and somewhat bitter taste; the wine connoisseur in the test round said slightly musty in the finish. The taste favorites of the test round were the buffola worms, followed by the parmesan-coated crickets. The optical favorite was unanimously the roasted crickets.
