Bangkok (AFP) – There's no crunch or crackle, but crickets are on the menu at one Bangkok pop-up serving fusion bug burgers, demonstrating the latest way to incorporate the protein-rich meat into food -- direct from Thailand's farms.
Already catching headlines as a meat alternative, the edible insect market is expected to grow into a billion-dollar global industry in the coming years with many adopting creepy-crawlies into their diets as a result of climate damage.
Thailand's Bounce Burger is the newest cricket kid on the block with its cricket-beef burgers, sausages, cricket balls and even power bars and cookies.
"Crickets don't have to be on street vendor's stalls that are served only with soy sauce," said Poopipat Thiapairat, co-owner of Bounce Burger Restaurant.
"They can be burgers, bakery, soft cookies or even paprika seasoning used to flavour french fries -- these are all possible."

Sounds good.
“The taste is good. The sauce blends over the smell of the crickets,”
I don’t find that comforting or reassuring.
Nor do I. 🤮
Just a matter of time before the WEF ‘Masters’ start selling “Soylent Green” Burgers.
I’ll pass, thanks.
Poopipat Thiapairat?
Poopy pat?
They write themselves...
Asians already eat strange crap. Adding bug burgers is no big step.
Won’t be a big hit in America although they may slip them into discount burgers.
That’s great and all but I am very sensitive to not appropriating their culture. So out of respect, I will pass.
Ill start eating more snack ramen or them MRE if they aint bugs, Also I got various chips to eat. There are also breads I WILL NOT eat these bug meats screw this. I got cereals also
You will live in the pod and you will eat the bugs.
You will own nothing and be happy.

Governments use to be concerned about the number of insect parts in food. It was considered a contaminant. Now, governments show their contempt for the public by pushing garbage as food.
Not eating za bugs!
Cricket balls?
It would take millions to fill even a small bowl.
I wouldn’t be surprised if food companies are adding bugs as protein filler for a number of familiar products.
The Left will get their greatest KICK when they sucker the world into eating bugs
Lol!!
Give the bugs to women and minorities, if they are good for you then perhaps they will stop being hardest hit. I will take my chances and eat steak, chicken, pork, and fish.
Strong sauce needed to cover up the cricket poop smell.
