South Korea looks to generate buzz for edible insects

Seoul

BAE Su-Hyeon's lunch of sweet potato soup and funghi pasta has bugs in it. They're part of the recipe. "It didn't feel like eating insects," says Ms Bae, an 18-year-old student having lunch with a friend at Papillon's Kitchen, a Seoul restaurant specialising in insects.

That's because the mealworms in her dishes were hydrolised into powder to make the pasta and soup.
