A foodie mum who has always had an adventurous palate decided to tackle rising costs by introducing insects to her 18-month-old baby's mealtimes.
Over the course of her career, food writer Tiffany Leigh has eaten everything "from fried tarantula legs to scorpion on a stick", and very much enjoyed dining on crickets and ants during her travels in Vietnam and Thailand.
After having a baby, Tiffany, of Toronto, Canada, found her weekly food shop soar from around £147 ($250) to £177 ($300), and so decided to cut costs by mixing crickets into her young daughter's eating routine, rotating these with pricer proteins such as beef, chicken, and pork.
