The plastic-covered menu at this restaurant offers the kind of limited selection you find in the famous Monty Python spam sketch.  Let’s see, we’ve got young crickets deep fried, cricket salad, breaded cricket, cricket noodle and peppered cricket. 

In other words, you don’t come here for the burgers. 

But then, why would you need anything else in a country where crickets are now being described as finger food for beer drinkers.” Grant McCool reports:cricket300.jpg

Nobody likes me.
Everybody hates me.
I’m gonna eat some worms
And crickets.

A waiter with a pen and thinking quickly, turned what should have been an awkward situation into a business bonanza!

I love the flavor but I hate getting those mineature canes, top-hats and tuxedos in my teeth.
