Bugs for lunch

Written by  The Hound

OPINION: The ongoing saga of the quality of school lunches continues.

So far, they have been too hot, too cold (frozen stiff), contained glass and plastic, and the latest find is arguably unwanted protein in the form of a well-cooked bug.

Imagine MPs finding a grub in their cottage pie lunch at Bellamy's.

Your old mate suspects the outrage would lift the top off the Beehive and that caterer would be gone by lunchtime.

There is an option, of course, if we are sort of happy with bugs.

Why not get the West Coast wild food festival people to do the school lunches?

Huhu bugs, possum meat, mountain oysters and all manner of creepy crawlies could be added to the lunches and that would cost even less and solve a pest problem as well.
