Overcome culinary fear, read bestsellers at Little Elm Public Library

How many people does it take to eat a box of crickets? At Tuesday’s food fear factor it took about eight. Other items on the menu included fortune cookies, astronaut cinnamon apple wedges, potted meat, baby food, smoked oysters, sardines in hot sauce, prepared horseradish, goat cheese, pickled okra, pickled pig’s feet, anchovies, and dried larvae. Though the program was initially for teens “with parental permission”, the youngest of the 17 participants was three and there were even four adults who participated.
