Entomophagy in Dimentiara

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Due to the influence of Domonid culture and a lack of Direct Liner influence, entomophagy is widespread among the people of Dimentiara's western hemisphere. In Lenlaria, Rikenga, Olios and parts of Badonlas, eating insects is as normalized as eating shellfish is elsewhere. Among the most widely consumed non-crustacean arthropods are crickets, locusts, termites, ants, wasp larvae, grubs, silkworms, mealworms, superworms, black soldier flies, cockchafers, giant water bugs, scorpions and tarantulas. They may be roasted, grilled, stewed, or ground up into protein bars.

Entomophagy is less common in Dimentiara's eastern hemisphere. However, thanks to immigration and cultural exchange it is becoming more common in the modern era than it had been previously, with only the oldest remaining generations having any serious objection to it.
