Entomophagy in Western Culture, April 10, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Why Not Eat Insects? (Paperback)
Holt gives the reader a very interesting and rational look at eating insects and the precedents for doing so in Western culture. He takes us from Greece up to what was his modern day England with examples of Heroditus' Aristotle's and Darwin's eating insects and how they prepared them. Excellent read that would solve the world's hunger problems in a single afternoon if our creepy crawly little friends were just included in our diets!

Great book and unique gift idea, June 18, 2011
This review is from: Why Not Eat Insects? (Paperback)
I am glad to see that a few copies are still to be bought. It is very well written though a bit quaint, in the style of its time. The arguments proposed are very good but the best observation in the book by far is the presentation of sample menus in French. The author remarks to the effect, everything looks a bit more tasty when written in French! LOL!
