Bugs in your brownies? University students dish it out in Great UBC Bug Bake Off

If anything was bugging the judges at the University of British Columbia’s baking competition on Tuesday, it wasn’t the ingredients of the dishes.

According to the school’s executive chef, there were other issues with submissions to the Great UBC Bug Bake Off, but the insects — including ground mealworms and cricket powder — weren’t among them.

The creepy crawly competition featured samosas, potato patties, pita, cookies, and more — all in an effort to raise awareness of the benefits and risks of eating insects. It’s part of an applied biology course taught an instructor in the Faculty of Land and Food Systems.

Global's Aaron McArthur reports.
