Wasp crackers are creating a buzzPosted Sep 11th 2007 2:02PM by Sarah J. GimFiled under: Grains, Far East, Food Oddities, New ProductsI've heard of people eating ants, crickets, and even larvae, but wasps? Not until today.In Omachi, Japan, a village 120 miles northwest of Tokyo, 80-year-old hunters catch digger wasps in nearby forests. The wasps are boiled, dried, then sprinkled over a cracker dough, which is cut with hot iron stamps to create the cracker shapes. The crackers are called jibachi senbei and are sold in packages of 20 for a mere £1.60. Wonder if you can feel a sting.
