Methinks the Italians doth protests too much.

A few years back when Joe Rogan was doing FEAR FACTOR the contestants had to eat cheese loaded with LIVE MAGGOTS!!!

And it looked bad.

A friend of my wife said her parents and relatives back in Italy love the stuff! Called casu martzu!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casu_martzu

And as with many fun things the EU has made it illegal.
As of 2019, the illegal production of this cheese was estimated as 100 tonnes (98 long tons; 110 short tons) per year, worth between €2–3 million

Not defensive, don't care to hear from the idiots on here who don't bother to read entire posts before commenting on the first sentence written.

Happens all the time on here.

BTW, you seem rather defensive after reading my post.

Leviticus 11
21 Yet these you may eat of every flying insect that creeps on all fours: those which have jointed legs above their feet with which to leap on the earth.
22 These you may eat: the locust after its kind, the destroying locust after its kind, the cricket after its kind, and the grasshopper after its kind.

Yep. The bugs are already there. Now they are just calling it haute cuisine.

Please don’t project.

When one expresses any viewpoint, it’s always open to scrutiny. Just a matter of confidence in one’s facts.

I'll eat bugs only if every leftist/globalist filthbag pushing this crap agrees to take a point blank shotgun blast to the face first.

That's what I call a fair trade.

Actual title should be “More Insects than originally thought find their way onto Italian plates despite resistance”

I really like crickets. One of my favorite foods.
