[Sca-cooks] Cuisine Based on Bugs

[Ana Valdes]

I am just now in a meeting in Barcelona, visited today their biggest
marked and among hundreds of stalls selling fish, shellfish, innards,
cheeses, bread and fruits, we found a little anonymous stall selling
all kind of bugs, grasshoppers, ants, watercoakraches (urrgh!!),
mescal worms, every imaginable insects was sold there :)'
They had loolipops with scorpions in caramel, jelly of worms and cheese.
It's possible to buy from the net, www.boletspetras.com

"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us 'Universe,' a part
limited in time and space.  He experiences himself, his thoughts and
feelings as something separated from the rest -- a kind of optical
delusion of his consciousness.  This delusion is a kind of prison for
us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few
persons nearest to us.  Our task must be to free ourselves from this
prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living
creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.  Nobody is able to
achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in
itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security."
-- Albert Einstein
