I host an edible insect cooking show on my website, www.girlmeetsbug.com, and I would love to use some of Mr. Uchiyama's recipes. Where can I find his book? Thank you!

Here's an English video clip of Uchiyama and others enjoying a bug feast this past Christmas: http://news.sky.com/skynews/Home/video/Christmas-Grub-In-Tokyos-Insect-Restaurant/Video/200812315180526?lid=VIDEO_15180526 I suspect that in a few decades we'll all be eating more bugs, as population growth, strip-mined oceans and limits to raising livestock & poulty will drive up the price of protein - the past as prologue, so to speak. Doesn't insect-eating still remain a relatively large market in China and other places, for precisely the same reason? Telegraph article indicates that you're aware that tsukudani'd grasshoppers are not too hard to get ahold of, but I understand that there are still a few yakitori places in Tokyo that serve roasted bee larvae. There seem to be plenty of Japanese web pages discussing traditional bug crackers, etc. Another gaijin put together this collection of them: http://washokufood.blogspot.com/2008/04/konchuu-ryoori-insects.html Tony, nice photos and interesting story.

Insects on their own aren't too appealing to me, but I bet they'd complement a ball of sushi-rice darned well. Hmmm…I may have to give this a go sometime.

Mind you, I'll not be out turning over rocks in search of a meal, but the passion and open-mindedness are refreshing. That he found a spouse who's into entomophagy too is cool. I think it’s great.
