I dip into Heston Blumenthal's "Is This A Cookbook?" ("Every recipe is simple, straightforward, and totally do-able. This is Heston at his most accessible.")
"A Cricket Pho for Sharing (and Slurping)" sounds tasty, I've liked Vietnamese pho soup before... ingredients include "1 litre cricket stock (page 317)", I wonder what stock gets that whimsical name... it's a stock made from cricket powder. Sudenly I'm feeling less convinced.
An online supermarket tells me "No results found for cricket powder, showing instead results for chicken powder", offering chicken gravy granules - a more traditional choice.
But Amazon does offer me Bugvita's "High Protein Cricket Powder". The AI review summary opens "Customers like the taste, quality and speed of the pet food" - but AI clearly isn't perfect, as the description says it is indeed "Edible insects for human consumption" (& explains its green credentials). #crickets #food
