ANYONE FOR BUG SOUP?
David George Gordon likes bugs. He has a pet tarantula called Doris. For years, his wife and daughter have even grown to love the little pests crawling and flying (1) … the house and garden (2) … the Olympic Peninsula (полуостров) near Seattle. But now Gordon has done something even his nearest and dearest find a little too much. He has brought his insects (3) … the kitchen and put them (4) … frying pans. In short, he has turned (5) … a bug eater. He has renamed his kitchen the Eat-A-Bug Cafe and spent the last few months travelling (6) … the USA to demonstrate recipes from his cookbook.
Gordon is a man of warmth and humour. Our appointment is (7) … a picture-perfect kitchen (8) … the northern tip (вершина) of Seattle’s Capitol Hill.
“We are looking (9) … the food of the future,” says my host, “nutritious, cheap, easy on the earth’s resources and protein-rich”.
The scorpions are ready and my host puts a couple of them (10) … my plate. It tastes a bit chalky; somewhere (11) … tinned tuna and a piece of string.
“How did you first get interested (12) … eating bugs?” I ask, politely setting the rest of my plate aside.
The answer lies with his previous research. He found that English sailors (13) … the 18th century preserved (14) … the roaches (таракан) annoying them on board.
“That shocked me,” he says. “Eating cockroaches (таракан) separates the men (15) … the boys.”
