Budget supermarket Aldi is considering selling edible insect recipe kits as the cost of living crisis hits families.
Bugs such as crickets are known to be a cheap and sustainable form of protein.
Now Aldi is weighing up whether to stock products by Yum Bug, which make the insect recipe kits.
Yum Bug founders Aaron Thomas and Leo Taylor, both 28, are competing against other start-ups to get their product on the supermarket's shelves.
The duo were picked from hundreds of applicant's to appear on Channel 4's 'Aldi's Next Big Thing' tomorrow.

Dear Schwab, Gates, Suckerberg, von der Leyen, Kerry, Obola, UN climate freaks and leftists the world over, ESAD. You can eat this trash, we’ll enjoy whatever we want to eat, regardless of what you think we should be eating.
Yikes 😳😬
The article seems to suggest this will be marketed in Europe.
I doubt it’ll fly there......or crawl for that matter.
Here it will be a complete and utter failure just like that impossible fake meat crap.
We probably eat bugs and other things and don’t know it. The
processing of food items covers a lot of differing operations
before it is packaged and sold to the consumer.
I never have visited an Aldi store.
Now, I am convinced that I made the right choice.
I will NEVER visit an Aldi store.
I had a cricket guacamole at a festival last night, and as expected, it was disgusting. a 4-year-old will put almost anything in his mouth to try it, but never an insect. I think it’s an innate revulsion, like not wanting to touch a worm or snake.
That is so nice of them. </sarcasm>
They have a good wine section.
My favorite edible bug comes from the sea, lobster.
.
There are 'allowable' amounts of insect parts, rodent feces, etc.
that the FDA/USDA says are okay if they UNINTENTIONALLY
get into our foods in the manufacturing process(es).
But what they are talking about here is INTENTIONAL.
Once, many years ago, I raised earthworms for fish bait -
But I did not eat them. (The worms I mean - I did eat the fish.)
.
25 years ago I would sometimes go to Aldis for lower costs
on canned goods. But these days the cost of gas precludes
making a special shopping trip. The savings not worth it.
WHOA, that changes everything. I’m there.
But I like my Yellow Tail Cabernet Sauvignon that is readily at Wegmans.
They can sell bugs at an affordable price but not other proteins? Give me a break.
Nobody will control what I eat, I will become ungovernable.
I’ve had enough of this feces.
Are insects Vegan approved? I’ll bet it won’t be long before we see Beyond Bugs made out of grass clippings from the World Beyond.
Well we have a lot of Asians in our area so they might go over big here. 😏
.
When I was in 5th grade there was a kid named Michael who
would eat bugs and dirt on the playground if you dared him to.
He's institutionalized now, last I heard - which was many years ago.
Yep times and things we do change as we age.
Nothing new about that. Have a good day.
Aldi’s isn’t bad. Their prices are great and the wife loves their cheap wine. HOWEVER...if they start selling bugs, I probably won’t return.
Bugs and real food don’t mix. That’s just an infestation waiting to happen.
(BTW...I love your user name.)
Yes.
I long ago quit watching TV. Never turn it on.
