Menu proposed by Vincent M. Holst in Why Not Eat Insects? (1885):

• Slug soup
• Boiled cod with snail sauce
• Wasp grubs fried in the comb
• Moths sauteed in butter
• Braised beef with caterpillars
• New carrots with wireworm sauce
• Gooseberry cream with sawflies
• Deviled chafer grubs
• Stag beetle larvae on toast

“Why on earth should these creatures be called loathsome, which, as a matter of fact, are not loathsome in any way, and, indeed, are in every way more fitted for human food than many of the so-called delicacies now highly prized?”

He has a point — viewed as livestock, house crickets convert energy to protein about 20 times more efficiently than beef cattle.
