So you're having company over, or you and your friends are having the munchies, but you're looking for something more than your run-of-the-mill chips, popcorn, and soda. Here are some insane snack foods that you may want to try. Don't turn your nose (or stomach) up to quickly; you just might find your new favorite snack here!
CHIRPS
If you're tired of snacking on plain old potato chips or tortillas and can go beyond the 'Eew' factor of snacking on something exotic, then have a go at Chirps by Sixfoods. It boasts of 20 grams of protein per bag (4 grams per serving) from an all-natural non-GMO sustainable source that's soy and gluten free. As you may have guessed from the name, it's made with cricket flour. It comes in Cheddar, Sea Salt, and Barbecue flavor. Have a go and do tell if you can eat what bugs you.
LARVETS ORIGINAL WORM SNAX
Another addition to a possible Fear Factor-themed party is the Larvets. Crispy meal worms lightly flavored and reminiscent of the crushed potato chips you get at the bottom of each bag. You can enjoy this out of the ordinary snack in Cheddar Cheese, Barbecue, and Mexican Spice. Those who love this snack say that the mealworms have a "slightly nutty" flavor all o their own.
CHOCOLATE COVERED CRICKETS
No party is complete without something sweet. Don Bugito's select farm-bred crickets are oven toasted, dipped in Guittard dark chocolate, and free of preservatives. The crickets are all fed with carrots and bran, and are bred solely for human consumption. They are raised in clean, food-grade surroundings, and are even certified for hygiene purposes.
POPCORNOPOLIS
Gourmet popcorn is by no means a new offering, but curious foodies will still want to try the array of flavors Popcornopolis can offer. The mad geniuses over at this company are always looking for ways to innovate their creations. People are always on the hunt for new tastes for their ever changing palate, and Popcornopolis is happy to comply! You can start with the Cupcake, which is popcorn covered with frosting and sprinkles, then move on to the Lemon Heaven, with the goodness of a lemon bar in every bite of your popcorn.
CREAMED COD ICE CREAM
What are snacks if you can't have a little bit of dessert? If you're ever on a trip to London and find yourself in Notting Hill, you can find this oddity served by George's Portobello Fish Bar in London. The cod fish flavored ice cream is coated in a batter of pepper-vanilla, deep fried and served with 'chips' made of potato ice cream.
