Hot on the heels of news that the European Union has launched safety tests for a slew of exotic snacks to introduce them into Western culture as mainstream delicacies, the Edible online store is offering insect-based dishes to those who like to explore and experiment with regards to food. Inspired by the founders' own far-flung travels, this shop offers unique and unusual delicacies that are consumed on a daily basis around the world.
With options like Giant Hornet Honey, Chocolate Covered Giant Ants, BBQ Worm Crisps and Scorpion Vodka, the Edible online store provides these snacks with a modern twist. The lablike, apothecary-style packaging itself will probably compel individuals to give these intriguing insect dishes a go -- not to mention the knowledge that 10 percent of all profits go directly to rare and endangered species conservation projects worldwide.
