That’s right folks, we at Third Space Canteen like to push boundaries when exploring the future of sustainable food and for one night only, we are bringing you an insect feast. Join us if you’re adventurous enough!
We are joining forces with BUG recipes, Six Legs Farm and Crike to bring you an unforgettable experience and hear how insects could shape the future of food. To be held at Lockside Kitchen, nearest DLR is Gallion’s Reach.
BUG - Better Universal Grub
We believe edible insects can and should play a major role in solving these problems, as a food that's seriously sustainable, extremely nutritious and actually very tasty. We just need to stop freaking out over their looks – after all shellfish are hardly the sexiest creatures!
Six Legs Farm
Six Legs Farm is a family enterprise sustainably breeding high welfare insects, currently crickets, as an alternative protein source in the UK. Compared to other animal protein sources crickets have a significantly lower environmental impact, high nutritional and health benefits and when milled in to a powder are extremely versatile to use, for example in bread, pasta or pizza bases, made into energy bars or balls for healthy on-the-go snacks or simply added to soups, smoothies, cereals, etc. Six Legs Farm aims to be a model of sustainable farming practice by using renewable energy, not creating waste, maintaining high animal welfare standards and operating as a socially and environmentally responsible business.
Cricke Foods
2 billion people around the world consider edible insects as part of their diet. Guess why? Bugs are nutritionally balanced and incredibly delicious. Moreover, they are hyper-sustainable and require drastically less water, feed and space compared to traditional protein sources.
