But this could be the next big thing in culinary science.

Experts say that if you're toast had cricket flour, your smoothie had locust powder, your eggs had caterpillar fat and your bacon was made of mealworms.

You'd be getting mawr, iron protein and vitamins than the breakfast you currently want to eat.

So it's time to feast on some new info concerning crispy, crunchy crickets and meal time.

For many, it's the stuff of nightmares.

But keep an open mind.

This could be your dinner tonight.

Thats been.

We'll have about six flowers and crickets.

Joe Wise is the managing director at Monk Field.

They've been growing thes is live pet feed for years.

Now they're expanding, becoming the first in Britain to produce insects for human consumption.

At an industrial scale, you're getting a at least a kilo, plus a protein from that been, the average steak has 25 g of protein.

That's more than 40 stakes in each of these bins, so Joe's hoping that people will look at the nutritional value instead of looking away.

But there are other pluses.

Emissions wise there, as eco friendly as it gets, they take up very little space, and they grow really, really fast.

They're ready for harvest four weeks after they hatch there, then frozen, washed thoroughly, put in a microwave, heated to boiling temperatures, killing any bacteria.

And they're good to go, but still hard to say, their mouth watering.

This is never gonna look as appetizing and say a steak.

But what we need now is some really good chefs on food.

Scientists to get behind the product makes some really tasty dishes.

That's exactly what chef Marta Ortiz is trying to do.

She's been slowly introducing insect dishes into the menu at L.

A Kanta, her upmarket Mexican restaurant in London.

Like the guacamole nationalist decorated with a golden grass hopper.

Even the cracking, you know, it's something so wonderful.

What do her customers think?

They love it.

They They asked for more, you know they want more.

They want to try it.

They say this is magnificent.

This is the list shows.

But try one.

You will get in love with them.

I'm sure things is a bit scary.

No.

Yeah.

I'm not sure I love them.

just yet.

The good chef can make anything taste delicious.

But the big question is with these on sale here in the UK Are people in the West ready to eat them?

Never had it before.

Don't intend toe have it now.

Probably never will have it.

So some people say crickets like these are the food of the future, are they?

That's lovely.

Thank you.

Oh, my God.

It looks like a cricket as well.

It's just like crisps, John.

It's like Christmas.

Good, bad, bad.

Yeah, taste better than it looks, that's for sure.
