A Future Food Salon Puts Bugs on the Menu

Curious eaters gathered for a chance to taste the future. And the future tastes like crickets.

Typically, the sound of crickets at an event means its a less than stellar one. But at ThursdaysFuture Food

Salon,the little insects were the stars of the evening.

Held atGallery 345,theAlimentary InitiativesandCultures of Cities Centreevent was focused on the future

of food, with a heavy emphasis on entomophagywhich, for the uninformed, is the eating of insects.

By the year 2050, the worlds population is expected to reach nine billion people. This means more mouths to

feed, and more clearing of land to support food production. The amount of land necessary to feed one NorthAmerican person meat for just one year, for example, is 549 square metres, according to research compiled by

the Future Food Salons keynote speaker, Jakub Dzamba, a McGill PhD student and cricket connoisseur.

Livestock, such as cows, pigs, chickens, and other animals we raise for meat and dairy, requirein addition tovast amounts of landwater, energy, and feed.

Because of this, insects are emerging as a viable alternative to livestock consumption. Bugs are already beingeaten in other parts of the world, including places as close to home as Oaxaca, Mexico. According to Dzamba,

these creepy crawlies have benefits beyond the environmental. They also pack a protein-filled punch.

They actually have a protein content similar to beef, Dzamba said while touting the benefits of cricket

consumption. Plus, the fibre content is much higher.

Because the shells of crickets arent digestible, they pass through the digestivetract, making them a goodsource of insoluble fibre. With this in mind, Dzamba recommends eating crickets ground and added as proteinpowder to a variety of dishes.

Aruna Handa of Alimentary Initiatives counts herself as an insect-eating enthusiast. She also sees the wider

benefits of entomophagy.

Insects are so tasty, theyre so sustainable, theyre so versatile for cooking, she said. And we wanted to

celebrate that.

Guests at the Future Food Salon were offered a tasty spread of cricket-based dishes. The bugs came intact,

spiced, and dry-roasted, but were also presented in canaps prepared byUrban Acorn Catering,as well as atop

cookies.Cookie Martinezhad prepared an even more daring dessert option: crickets drizzled in chocolate.

Urban Acorn Catering chef Daniel Holloway cut his cricket teeth only weeks ago, but found them easy to usein dishes.

They have the consistency of popcorn, and the taste of almonds, so I found them very easy to work with.

The canaps he and co-owner and chef Marie Fitrion prepared for the salon included Chick &Chirp burgers,which consisted of chickpea patties made with cricket flour; buckwheat crepes stuffed with pickled cabbage,

dried crickets, and rhubarb; and a garbanzo blini with carrot mousse, which was the buggiest of all the

options, with several whole, roasted crickets on top of each mini chickpea pancake.

If causal observation can be considered an adequate gauge, it seems that the future is not far off, at least for

Toronto. Salon guests happily munched cricket-laced and -topped dishes throughout the evening, many (this

writer included) going back for seconds, thirds, and fourths.

The Food and Agriculture Organization on Monday hailed the likes of grasshoppers, ants and

other members of the insect world as an underutilized food for people, livestock and pets.

A 200-page report, released at a news conference at the UN agency's Rome headquarters,

says 2 billion people worldwide already supplement their diets with insects, which are high in

protein and minerals, and have environmental benefits.

Insects are "extremely efficient" in converting feed into edible meat, the agency said. On

average, they can convert 2 kilograms (4.4 pounds) of feed into 1 kilogram (2.2 pounds) of

insect mass. In comparison, cattle require 8 kilograms (17.6 pounds) of feed to produce a kilo of

meat.

Most insects are likely to produce fewer environmentally harmful greenhouse gases, and also

feed on human and food waste, compost and animal slurry, with the products being used for

agricultural feed, the agency said.

Currently, most edible insects are gathered in forests and what insect farming does take place is

often family-run and serves niche markets. But the UN says mechanization can ratchet up

insect farming production. The fish bait industry, for example, has long farmed insects.

Insect farming is "one of the many ways to address food and feed security," the food agency

said.

"Insects are everywhere and they reproduce quickly," the agency said, adding they leave a "low

environmental footprint." They provide high-quality protein and nutrients when compared with

meat and fish and are "particularly important as a food supplement for undernourished children,"

it said.

Insects can also be rich in copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, selenium and

zinc, and are a source of fiber.

The agency noted that its Edible Insect Program is also examining the potential of arachnids,

such as spiders and scorpions, although they are not strictly speaking insects.

University biologists have analyzed the nutritional value of edible insects, and some of them,

such as certain beetles, ants, crickets and grasshoppers, come close to lean red meat or broiled

fish in terms of protein per gram (ounce).

But are they tasty?

The report noted that some caterpillars in southern Africa and weaver ant eggs in Southeast

Asia are considered delicacies and command high prices.

And some people who might not entertain the thought of consuming insects might already be

eating them. Many insects are ingested inadvertently.

Eating insects is not common in Canada but its getting more popular, says Jakub Dzamba . He is an

architecture student at McGill University who is developing cricket farm systems. Hes working on?%'41*4 3?A0, D' A(', *4 1?C'5

I came up with a cricket farm that basically herds crickets from one farm to another, said Dzamba.

The reason for that is to get the crickets away from their own waste and that keeps them cleaner.

Canada puts insects on the menu

Sustainable food campaigners want people to eat bugs, but some may find it hard to

stomach.

Last Modified: 01 Jul 2013 11:46 http://aje.me/16Jv9de

Sustainable food campaigners want to introduce a new feature on our menus - insects.

They are small and packed with nutrition, but some may find them hard to stomach.

Al Jazeera's Daniel Lak reports from Toronto, Canada.

Insects' culinary stardomcontinues to risein the U.S., with chefs and food innovators

introducing the creepy crawliesto the western palate. Last night's iteration of theFuture Food

Salonseries, which examines the culinary landscape of our future, devoted an evening to

exploring the nutritional and ecological advantages to consuming crickets and other insects, and

tried to convert some adventurous eaters to entomophagy.

Photographer andavid eaterScott Lynchbraved the bugs and sends us this dispatch from the

dinner party of the future:

The Future Food Salon promo piece promised only "cricket canapes", so I was worried that there

might just be a few samples available, but no, this was a generous buffet of bug snacks and

sweets. I'd never eaten crickets before (Toloache was out the night I went), nor, I don't think, anykind of bug (though there might have been a mezcal worm or two in my youth). And, frankly,

insects in general kind of freak me out. But you can't go to a cricket-eating event and not eat a

bunch of crickets, so I dove right in. There were plenty of "starter-entomophagist" options here,like the Cricket Crostini, which tasted mostly of the pat on which the insect was placed, and the

Cricket "Falafel" skewers, which was also not terribly buggy. The crickety sweets were even

more of a cover-up, especially the insanely sweet "Crittle".

Thankfully, over at the bar there were two bowls of straight-up crickets, one with salt, onewithout. Just big bowls of dried-up bugs. It's not like they clean and "scale" these suckers either:spindly legs, long antenna, little eyeballs, it's all here. Just to really gross myself out I put likefive in my mouth at the same time, to produce a good chew, as you might with a particularly

good mixture of nuts. And, honestly, it wasn't bad. It wasn't necessarily goodthe flavor was

subtle, maybe a little nuttybut the texture was satisfyingly crackling, and it did the bar-snacktrick.

Of course there was a serious purpose to the Future Food Salon as well, and entomophagists

(Greek for "eaters of insects", per the internet) are adamant that insect protein will save the

planet, offering a far more sustainable, less expensive, and ecologically sound source of nutritionthan animal meat. Large-scale cricket farming is the future, say they, but the event's speaker

Jakub Dzamba also brought in three prototypes of his counter-top cricket farms. He told me that

it takes about two weeks to grow enough crickets in one of these home models to provide dinnerfor a family of four, which doesn't sound nearly quick enough to bother. Also, all three were waytoo large for any home kitchen I've ever had here in the city. Still, there's definitely something to

it, and you can see the appeal in an urban-farming kind of way.

sliver. More than one person physically recoiled, as if a cricket might suddenly hop out.It doesnt taste as appalling as other things that look like that, chimed in another. Thepackaging comes with a warning for individuals with allergies to nuts and shellfish:insects, like crabs, shrimp, and lobster, are arthropods, and so taxonomically close thatthe allergy often extends into the Insecta class.

Insects arent exactly filling; as Goodyear points out, youd have to eat a thousandgrasshoppers to equal the amount of protein in a twelve-ounce steak. (But then again,should we really be eating twelveounces of steak? Thats already twice therecommended serving size,according to the U.S.D.A.)As one astute colleague pointedout, Crickets arent even the first ingredient on the label for Exo barstheyre fifth.

According to Sewitz, there are about twenty-five crickets in each bar, accounting foronly about six per cent of its mass. Processed crickets can cost hundreds of dollars perpound, but in the days of factory farms andseventy-nine-dollar chicken,it mightbehoove us to invest in ways to bring those costs down. The team at Exo is alreadylooking into this, starting with a local farm in Pennsylvania and another provider in

Texas. As Sewitz explained in an e-mail, Theres a pretty large network of cricket farmsthat already exist for reptile feed and fishing bait. Weve worked with a few differentfarms to tweak their practices to make the crickets optimal for human consumption.

Another alternative source of protein, as Michael Specter reported earlier in 2011, is togrow our ownsteak in a test tubeso pick your poison: wiggly critters or disembodiedmuscle strips. Theres a reason entomophagy enthusiasts are trying to get the termmini-livestock to catch on. The world of entomophagy is ready for its sushi momentthe normalization and subsequent integration of an unusual ingredient into the Americandiet through food trends. Already weve seen Jos Andrsschapuln taco in D.C.,ZackLemannsfried dragonflies in New Orleans,and Laurent Queniouxsescamoles(ant

larvae) in Los Angeles.I asked Sewitz if they had any plans to use cricket flour as aprotein additive for other products besides protein bars, and he said that Exo hopeseventually to be able to supply it to people for use in their own baking. I can see it now:cricketcronuts.

Theyre crunchy with a mild,nutty flavor, and are loaded with protein. But theyre also a little creepy.

Were talking about crickets, which are increasingly coming up as a sustainable snack.

Insects seem like a really good solution to the future of food, says Aruna Antonella Handa, an advocate

of eating bugs, but also the most toxic in terms of resistance from the public.

MICHAEL IP FOR NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

Cricket kebabs were served at the Future Food Salon, held in August in Manhattan.

Handa wants to change that, and recently hosted a Future Food Salon in Chelsea a food and arts

event promoting more sustainable eating habits that showcased all the tasty ways to fry up an insect. The

easiest method for would-be bug munchers involves grinding crickets into a fine flour, and then adding it

to other foods.

Its a gentle introduction, says Pat Crowley, the founder of Chapul, a Utah company that manufactures

energy bars made with cricket flour. His bars, for sale at Westerly Natural Market in midtown, were a hit at

the future food salon, perhaps because one cant really taste the crickets in them. The same was true

with crittle, a peanut brittle with chunks of cricket meat locked in the hardened sugar.

Cricket brittle anyone? It's a sweet and nutty-tasting treat.

To truly taste the crickets, salon guests had to grab a cricket on a stick, or reach into a big bowl of salted

crickets and snack away. After getting past the initial skepticism, dozens of New Yorkers and visitors were

soon eating bugs like it was the most natural thing in the world. And perhaps it is.

More than 2 billion people around the world currently eat insects, according to a recent United Nations

report. Insects are not harmful to eat, quite the contrary, says Eva Muller, director of the UNs Food and

Agricultural Organizations Forest Economics, Policy and Products Division. They are nutritious, they

have a lot of protein and are considered a delicacy in many countries.

But that doesnt mean theyd be a popular menu addition at Per Se. Its all a little weird if youre not used

to it.

Cricket-based chocolate made by Fat Turkey Chocolate Company of Austin, Tex.

When you first try it, you have to keep your eyes closed, says Helen Yung, 25, an artist who was

showing her work at the salon. But then it doesnt taste that bad. Kind of like nuts. If I was going to order

insects at a restaurant, Id order crickets. They are like shrimp.

While crickets might seem less offensive than other insects, this doesnt explain why anyone would want

to eat bugs in the first place. According to Crowley, we may one day have little choice. Whereas 10

pounds of animal feed will produce 1 pound of beef, those same 10 pounds will make 8 pounds of

crickets. They need far less water, and unlike the cruel practice of factory farming, he says, crickets and

other bugs actually thrive when they are packed on top of each other.

A cricket tostada dish at Antojeria La Popular Mexican restaurant in Nolita.

Jakub Dzamba, a speaker at the salon whos researching radical approaches to urban agriculture, is

working to build insect farms that can go right into the walls of an apartment building. The idea is that

families could feed their food scraps and leftovers to the crickets, and then eat those same crickets, thus

solving the dual agricultural problems of production and distribution.

Right now hes testing it out in his Montreal apartment.

I had a few cricket escapes over the years and my wife kicked my butt a few times, he said. But its

something youd want to have in your apartment. Its not something smelly or gross.

While most New Yorkers would probably not go so far as to install a cricket farm, adventurous eaters are

in luck. The insects are already a menu staple at one SoHo restaurant.

They are so interesting that I didnt want to hide them inside anything, says Regina Galvanduque, co -

owner of Antojeria La Popular, of the cricket tacos on her menu. At this authentic Mexican cafe, crickets

are served on an open-face taco, resting on a layer of guacamole and topped with crme frache.

Galvanduque says that in Mexico its also common to crush worms into salt and eat them with mescal.

Not to mention escamoles, a dish of ant larvae which she calls better than caviar.

But I draw the line at scorpions.
