Synopsis
The imagination to eat insects feels disgusting to many of us. Josh Evans is leading a project on the gastronomic potential of insects at the Nordic Food Lab, an open-source research and development space founded by NOMA, one of the leading restaurants in the world. With the help of renowned chefs he embarks on a food roadtrip through five continents to investigate, find and taste edible insects as delicacies. On the menu of the five episodes are journeys to Australia, Eastern Africa, Mexiko and Peru, Japan, and finally to Europe. This five-part series was produced for ARTE’s early evening adventure slot and is based on the feature documentary BUGS by Andreas Johnsen that was shown at prestiguous film festivals all over the world.
