We've had problems with the computer, so it's taken me a couple of days
to post the following recipe for Woodlouse Sauce for fish. The original
book "Why not eat insects?2 was originally published in 1885, and gives
recipes and suggestions for eating just about every kind of garden pest.

Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall would be proud of you! :-)

I've eaten insects both knowingly and unknowingly but I know a ten year old
girl who cooked and ate (with relish - not the sauce type) a dish of
earthworms. She was one of several military family children who were
learning about survival.

And why not?

Because it would remind me of school dinners onion soup ;-)
