September 12, 2007: Japanese wasp crackers
Spluch catches this one, an animal IotD which has been helpfully pre-baked into a crunchy, stingy form. A Japanese snack baker has come up with the idea of embedding wasps into a rice cracker, Of course, since so many of us enjoy eating crackers with homemade wasp dip. Quote:
At least the aging wasp hunters -- the mighty, proud wasp hunters! -- are not going without employment. |

"...output is limited as the wasps are caught in the wild for optimum flavour..."
So these are free-range wasps? Do they have any milk-fed wasps? Those are the most tender.

What's the difference between a WASP and a Cracker anyway? Somebody ask freshness...

Wasps are the bosses. Crackers are the peons. It leads to a great deal of cognitive dissonance for those of us crackers who got promoted into management while the wasps were distracted by their golf games.

Am I the only one who is wondering how, exactly, does one "hunt" wasps?
I'm guessing a powerful insecticide sprayed from far away. Think: RAID. In my experience, you have to SOAK them with it. Wasps are tough SOB's. So, maybe the boiling is more to clean off the bodies than to cook? (I'm sure they're totally safe to eat after boiling!) |

Maybe they don't use pesticide to catch the wasps. Maybe they just suck them up with a vacuum cleaner like this guy.

Maybe they catch them one by one with chopsticks. |
