Aaron Bussell, our Animal Nutrition Center supervisor, didn’t think he’d be wiped out of food at the State Fair of Texas when he was invited to hold a cooking demo, considering he was baking bugs! But that’s exactly what happened – 150 portions gone in a matter of minutes. On the menu: candy and caramel apples topped with crispy cinnamon mealworms; crunchy ginger super worms; honey cricket taffy; fruit skewers with fresh crickets for dipping in the chocolate fountain; and super worms fried inside a hushpuppy with Texas sweet potatoes. We think his beautiful food presentations made the bugs seem too good to pass up! See for yourself with this slideshow.
