'Grubs up' takes on new meaning

YOU'D think any mention of beetles and Liverpool would conjure up images of John, Paul, George and Ringo, but a museum in the home town of the Fab Four has other ideas.

The museum’s natural history centre is offering cooked insects as nutritious crunchy snacks to hungry guests who think they might have the stomach to swallow water beetles, crickets, locusts and grubs.

The insects will have been roasted and some of them covered in chocolate.
