On the things we often overlooked as potential food sources suddenly seem worth exploring. We do not eat enough insects in the modern world, something our hunter gatherer ancestors would have taken full advantage of as an easy source of protein and fat.
During an excavation of old wood I found lots of these little larvae and took the opportunity to explore this food source. There is so many more under the polythene that I think we have a good harvest of these little grubs just waiting to be eaten!
After a deep fry in a little tallow and salt they became so delicious and crispy.
