"Bug Tasting 101" joke

College Station, Texas

Steamed crickets and baked mealworms provided a recent juicy feast in College Station, Texas. The meal was for a group of surprised Texas A & M administrators who couldn't recall approving Bug Tasting 101 as a course offering.

The Aggies thought they were attending a science class to improve interaction with students. Instead, they found a bug banquet prepared by entomology professor Roger Gold.

A & M controller William Krumm says the worms were his favorite - with a nice, chewy taste. Gold offers the bug tasting once each semester, to point out how tasty, vitamin-rich and full of protein insects can be.
