Bug Banquet - A Culinary Experience You Don't Want to Miss!
Texas A&M AgriLife in Bexar County is so proud to announce a culinary even you won't want to miss! Enjoy an evening of entomophagy prepared by expert chef's and Bexar County 4-H Food Challenge Teams. Dine under the stars at Clearwater Ranch and learn how raising insects is a sustainable form of agriculture and a surprisingly enjoyable culinary experience. Our mission is to introduce you to a new way to thinking of obtaining your protein! While this may be a novelty and maybe "odd" thing to consume, insects are a staple in the diets of many other cultures. As our population increases, land and other natural resources decrease, it is imperative that we come up with better ways of feeding ourselves... insects may be the answer!
You will have the opportunity to delight in an expertly prepared four course meal made with delectable insects and paired with an appropriate cocktail, beer or wine. Food prepared with insects can be pushed to the side for those not so inclined to partake. Our goal is to introduce the idea and show how you can incorporate insects into the diet without relying solely on them.
