We consider ourselves to be quite adventurous here in the Her Towers and are willing to try anything (on camera) once. If you’ve got a challenge you’d like to see us complete email [email protected] or tweet us @herdotie with #ChallengeHer

Admittedly when the offer to try edible bugs came into our inboxes we didn’t immediately jump for joy. Thoughts of I’m a Celeb jumped into our heads and we collectively shifted uncomfortably. But then we learnt that Global Pestaurant Day is June 3rd and it seemed rude to refuse.
Once we conquered mind over matter, it really wasn’t too bad. The mealworms and buffalo worms went down surprisingly easy and tasted slightly nutty. The crickets didn’t taste bad either; our only downfall was swallowing them whole.
These critters are packed full of protein and can be incorporated into cooking and baking. Give them a go yourself if you’re braver than us!
