Diana Kennedy stole the show. She marched on in on Tuesday after MAD and showed us a thing or two about cooking grasshopper.

We also prepared the famed "chimp stick" for an advisory board meeting last week.
The "chimp stick" was inspired by a video of a chimp using a stick to extract ants from a tree trunk and then sliding it across its tongue- an extremely efficient way to collect and consume ants.
The chimp stick consists of a piece of juniper wood rolled in honey and then artfully decorated with ants, freeze-dried raspberries, seeds, and leaves.
The diner is suppose to pick up the stick and draw is through his or her mouth just as the chimp does. Each attached ingredient provides a unique textural and flavor component to the dish.
LOL, it sounds like you are having a fabulous time. You are far more adventuresome than I am but I do love reading about your experiences. Chimp Sticks, Bee Larvae Granola and cakes made with blood, I'm not there yet, I'm old! Maybe one day you will tempt me.
