I guess this comes under the category of you should be careful
what you absurdly joke about, lest it become true...
Ever since I was a kid, if I saw a fly land in someone's soup,
or on a friend or family member's sandwich, I'd say "hey, a little
extra protein, no charge"...
I seldom got much appreciation for the comment.
But it seems I - and who knows how many others - may have been on
to something. Take a look that video clip below - wasp cookies are
getting buzz in Japan!
Apparently, wasp has been an ingredient in some kinds of rice
preparations in Japan for a long time, so making cookies with the
winged creatures didn't seem like that big a leap.
And - yes! - the wasp cookies are being touted for their protein
content...
But my tongue is probably barbed enough ... I expect I'll be
sticking to sushi for my exotic protein...
