Chocolate-Coated Bugs Are Latest Treat

LONDON (Reuters) - Ants, crickets and scorpions, baked, coated
in chocolate and promoted as a high-protein snack, are proving
popular among peckish Londoners.

Designer Todd Dalton, who trained as a chef in Louisiana and
acquired a taste for cooked insects on his travels in Asia and
central America, says he has sold 5,000 chocolate-coated bugs
since he began marketing them in December.

"They are very high in protein and very low in fat. They have a
higher percentage of protein than any meat or fish that we
commonly eat," he told Reuters.

The creepy-crawly chocs sell for between three and 3.50 pounds
($4.30-$5.00) at upmarket London stores such as Selfridges and
the Conran Shop and will soon be appearingin shops in Munich
and Zurich.
