Heading to the GOODFood Market in Woodstock for a specific challenge… the one to eat insects 🐜.
Introducing itself as the first restaurant to launch a 100% insect concept in South Africa 🇿🇦, The Insect Experience is born from the initiative of the company Gourmet Grubb. On the menu, you find grilled insects but also dishes made with caterpillars or larva.
This day, accompanied by a friend, we were welcomed by Chef Mario Barnard. After an introduction to the products, he explained the story behind the launch of the company. Then, how he got involved in insects cuisine. During a trip in Thailand 🇹🇭, after tasting spiders and scorpions he has started having an interest in cooking insects.
We decided to skip main dishes 😅 and eat directly desserts. But if you want to, you can check the menu here.
So we tasted the macarons (made with insect flour), black chocolate ice-cream (made with black fly larvae) and grilled worms.
