[Sca-cooks] Edible Bugs

[Johnna Holloway]

Ok, have her as a grad student write or call the University of  
Illinois's Department of Entomology Department

http://www.life.illinois.edu/entomology/

because not only does it sponsor an insect fear film marathon but they  
in the past have served snacks!
The grad students are probably all out in the field someplace  
gathering specimens, but
maybe someone is around.
(I suspect they raise these culinary insects themselves. I can  
remember our local baron showing up
with a hissing cockroach one time that was locally grown. That was 35  
years ago.)
