Stuart Hine
Remember Jennie Bond's face as she tucked into a hearty meal of stick insects followed by juicy witchety grub on I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here? Us westerners may squirm at the prospect, but in many parts of the world, insects are a regular part of the diet. Museum entomologist Stuart Hine uses real insect specimens to give us the low down on the taste and nutrition of a varied bushtucker diet, from roasted slugs to crunchy crickets
