What Are You Eating in Australia?
Narrator:Australians love food. Whether an exotic twist on traditional fare or an untested flavour, they are not afraid to experiment. But there’s an unfamiliar cuisine crawling onto menus Down Under, challenging the bravest of diners---bugs. At upmarket restaurants like this one in Sydney, a twist of lime and a dash of salt has these crickets flying out of the kitchen.
Nowshad Alam Rasel(Chef):When the customers want, when they come (for the) first time, they have to, they have the very very much like wants to know what it is. They'll come through the pass. They're asking for it. Yeah, it's very famous here.
Narrator:High in protein and cheaper and more sustainable than traditional food like beef, more than two billion people worldwide eat bugs. They’re common in diets across parts of Asia, Latin America, and Africa. And it's catching on here.
Skye Blackburn (Entomologist):Normally you get two different kinds of people when it comes to eating insects, so the first kind of people are completely grossed out and um, you really can't change their mind. They just kind of want to come and have a look and don't want to try it really. But then we get the second kind of people that really want to learn more and um some of them will try edible insects and some of them won't, but they'll go away and talk about eating insects and they'll spread the word about what they ve seen that day.
Narrator: Skye, an entomologist, runs the only commercial insect farm in Australia, producing a wide range of delicacies, from savoury crickets to dehydrated ants, and even roasted cockroaches insects remain a hard sell, but bug by bug, that could be starting to change.
Guy MEE wan: So I'm going to go a big gob. Yeah, it's great! I love'em, I love bugs.
Danny Stagnitta: Sometimes when you move the packet, it looks like they're alive.
Narrator: While the unique treat is proving popular at farmers markets and trendy eateries, it may be some time yet before bugs are a regular feature on Aussie dinner tables |
