Insect Food

Have you ever eaten insects?

My hometown of Aichi Prefecture don't have a culture of insect food, while those living in Nagano Prefecture where now I live sometimes eat locusts and hachinoko(which means bee larvae).

In fact, cooked locusts and bee larvae are sold in grocery stores.

I have an experience of eating such insects, but the taste wasn't too bad.

However, only the taste of silkworms was hideous for me, so I will never eat them again.

In the former Nagano Prefecture, since these insects were valuable protein sources, eating them was very important.

昆虫食

虫を食べたことはありますか？

私の故郷の愛知県ではそういう文化はありませんでしたが、今住んでいる長野県ではイナゴや蜂の子が時々食べられています。

実際、調理されたイナゴや蜂の子がスーパーで売られています。

私もイナゴや蜂の子を出されて食べたことがありますが、意外と普通の味でした。

ただし、蚕だけは苦手な味で、もう食べたいとは思いません。

かつての長野県では、これら昆虫は貴重なタンパク源で重宝されたとのことです。

  A "culture" is the set of all the things make up that place's culture. Each of those items is a *part* of that culture, but you don't call those items "cultures". For example, you can say "sushi is a part of Japanese culture", but you can't say *"sushi is a Japanese culture".

  More natural: "sources of protein".
