Meatballs made with Mealworms / Tenebrio molitor. Insects are eaten as food in many parts of the world, and don't have to be scary. See Notes

---

RAW, uncooked, edible insects. These are made with crushed dried mealworms mixed with soy protein - about 5 parts soy, 4 parts insects, and 1 part minced pork to help bind together. Rather to delicate to be deep fried, these can be baked or braised with a minimum of liquid used. Burnt bugs taste absolutely awful so they need to be cooked gently.
