Lidl Soya and Insect Patties

Ben Done · 2023-04-01 06:13:05

So these appeared in my local Lidl today, beside the vegetarian stuff.. I didn't actually look at the back of the box but it appears it's mealworm grubs at 7% Anyone tempted? I'll not be sampling them myself but any vegetarians here who would consider it?

Saw a picture of them a while back, so not an April fools joke

The ingredients list ground up mealworm larvae, here's a picture to whet the appetite 😉

I'm fairly sure they don't count as vegetarian anyway, didn't seem to be marked as such on the packaging
If this is the future of food then I'll happily go vegan 😂
