pestaurant-nslive-imagesCould eating insects (known as Entomophagy) be the future of food consumption? With Pestaurant popping up at the inaugural New Scientist Live event at ExCeL, London – 22nd to 25th September 2016 you could come along and judge for yourself!

2 billion people worldwide already consume insects to supplement their daily diets, as they are high in protein, low in fat and contain nutrients such as B vitamins, zinc and iron. The United Nations actively promotes bug-eating in its efforts to fight world hunger and encourage sustainable living.

To kick off the event on 22nd September – but just for one day only! Pestaurant will be cooking up your favourite treat from our Great British Bug-Off competition. The preferred snack from the three shortlisted videos was voted for by YouTube views, with the winner being Holly Bell’s Black Forest Floor Brownie.

Holly Bell baked up a mean Black Forest Floor Brownie recipe, using mealworms for the batter and presentation alike. High in protein, a little mealworm goes a long way and the versatile insect can be eaten pan-fried, dry-roasted… the list goes on.

There will be other delights to test your taste buds at our Pestaurant during the New Scientist Live event. At the mini-bug buffet you can experience a wide range of insects, including BBQ Flavour Bamboo Worms, Chili Chapulines, Flying Termites, Roasted Queen Leaf Cutter Ants, Wild Black Ants and much more.

If you fancy following Holly’s recipe and making your own Black Forest Floor Brownie with added mealworm goodness– you can view the video on YouTube and see the recipe ingredients below:

I joined UK Marketing for Rentokil Pest Control in January 2009. What an enlightenment that has been - cheese mites, bed bugs and confused flour beetles, I never knew such things existed but I have certainly learnt how Rentokil expertise and experience eliminates them. Now my mission is to use the website to show the UK that whatever their pest problem, Rentokil have the solution. Life outside of work revolves around my husband and kids, so life is pretty hectic!
