Pass the Crispy Worms, Please

Fortnum
and Mason have launched a range of edible treats for Halloween including
real worms, ants and scorpions.

The creatures used in the white chocolate ants, toffee scorpions and barbeque
worm crisps are farm raised specially for human consumption.

Fortnum and Mason claim the scorpions taste like "walnuts", the
American red ants used in their peppermint lollipops have a "spicy
pepper" flavour and the worms taste like "toasted popcorn".

Other products in the range include an intricately decorated chocolate
witch and a jar of giant hornet honey, with one of the largest species
of wasp in the world, the Giant Japanese Hornet, inside.
