Past Events
(3 images above are from a Nov. 2015 Hampshire Review article by Ed DeWitt.) This page has information about why we should eat bugs and where to get them. I am hoping the West will consider bugs as a possible earth friendly solution to the rapidly rising numbers of people needing nutritious food. They are amazingly efficient, using vastly less land, water and other resources. They are rich in protein and many important minerals. And they taste good.
Edible Insects: An Introduction to Entomophagy. Nov. 23, 2020, The Natural History Society of Maryland‘s virtual event: Maybe you are curious, but you’re not ready to pop a bug in your mouth? I’d love to hear from anyone who attended.

It included exciting presentations on research and industry progress, an expo, several catered meals centered around insects, as well as opportunities for networking and collaborating.”
Bugz’n’Beer Town Run Tap House and Community Pub .
I served different dishes made with insect products. Steve has been a guest presenter at various venues, but this was my first public venture into pairings with alcohol– a natural match don’t you think?

So many generous folks to thank, and I don’t want to slight anyone.)
