As many of you know, I love chocolate...and anything
dipped in chocolate. Well almost anything.
Today is Chocolate covered Insect Day.
Now I’m not a bug lover, and although they are considered a delicacy in
some parts of the world, the main insects being ants, grasshoppers, and
scorpions, I’m still not sure I want to give them a shot.

As I was researching for this article, I came across an
article about a man who died during a contest for eating live cockroaches. This
happened in Florida, and it was apparently some sort of fear factor
contest. He didn't appear to be sick
before eating the roaches, and the bugs consumed were from an inventory of
insects "that are safely and domestically raised in a controlled
environment as food for reptiles."
So he must have had an allergy to the insects.

If you are a brave soul and want to try some chocolate
covered insects, they can be found online at several candy supply sites. I just
Google chocolate covered insects and found plenty. So...today, on chocolate covered insect day,
if you dare, try some ants or grasshoppers, I hear they taste like popcorn.
