Also es gibt ja nun wirklich viele kulinarische Ausflüge, die ich nicht wirklich verstehen kann. Dieser hier setzt dem ganzen mal wieder den goldenen Hut auf. In dem Restaurant Absente in Tokyo werden als Beilage zu den Spaghetti Heuschrecken serviert. Muss man nicht gut finden.

In their press release, restaurant owner Pasta Dio would like to remind everyone that locusts are an excellent source of calcium, protein, and vitamin A and were used in Japan during times of war to fight malnutrition and save lives. They even claim that once you get past the initial heebie-jeebies, locusts actually have an addictive texture that makes you come back for more.

Waiter, I think some pasta got into my plate of locusts
