San Antonio locals were all-in on feeding cockroaches named after their exes to zoo animals on Valentine's Day, and the Witte Museum is upping the ante this month.
That's because this time, it's us that will be eating the bugs.
At the end of March, the Witte is bringing back its "Bug Bites" dinner, a "unique entomological culinary experience" featuring a menu dreamed up by executive chef Stephen Paprocki and the Chef Cooperative.
The sample menu will feature coffee blackened chapulines (grasshoppers) street tacos, roasted orange-ant mole, beet-labneh stuffed squash blossom, ant-sumac dried tangerines and oranges with ant salt as garnish, and even cricket carrot cake for dessert. For morbidly curious picky eaters that still wish to attend, there will be non-insect items available to eat as well.
$35, 7-9 p.m. Thursday, March 26, Witte Museum, 3801 Broadway St., (210) 357-1910, wittemuseum.org.
I have fond memories of the Witte Museum. It has a great collection of Asian art.
Isn’t there someplace in Mexico or Central America that they eat live beetles in a taco or burrito?..............
If you have ever eaten at McDonnells they got nothing on you. Except they knew they were eating bugs.
I’ll drink my dinner, thanks anyway. Probably et more bugs than I wanna know...
None for me thanks.
What a bunch of maroons!
Eating cockroaches?
Uhh has anyone been watching what’s been going on in Wuhan China the past couple of months????
What the hell are we china?
Ok, what new viruses are lurking in these delicacies?
Well, considering the Coronavirus is the result of eating bats, this sure is not an appealing menu.
if people start eating bugs, what will birds eat?
Won’t they die off?
and then we’ll have to ban another useful product to save them...
“You end up tossing them in your mouth like peanuts after a couple of beers.”
“after a few beers” being a key part of that sentence...
