"It's clear that consumers are increasingly keen to explore this new sustainable protein source."Barbecued bugs will be on the shelves of a Gloucestershire supermarket on Monday as edible insects go on sale for the first time in the UK.
The day after I'm A Celebrity.... Get Me Out of Here hits our TV screens, supermarket giant Sainsbury's will start selling BBQ Crunchy Roasted Crickets.
And a Gloucestershire branch will be one of the 250 stores nationwide that will be trying out the insect snack for the first time.
Any jungle copycats looking for a Bushtucker trial should head to the Sainsbury's Local in Cheltenham High Street and test their appetite for crickets.
The Eat Grub bugs – acheta domesticus, or house crickets – are farmed in Europe and come in packets of about 50, at £1.50 per bag.
