found on the 'net:
*"On the Travel Channel's "Bizarre Foods" with Andrew Zimmern, he did one show where he goes to New York and visits a man that cooks "alternative foods" - basically, he cooks all kinds of insects.

On that episode Andrew tries an African Hissing Cockroach. The African Hissing Cockroach was cook in teriyaki sauce, and cooked until crispy. He says that it's really delicious, and that it tastes like roasted teriyaki, crunchy, and pleasant aftertaste (the cockroach was soaked in teriyaki sauce).

The New York Chef that cooks the African Hissing Cockroaches feeds them apple and pear to give them a sweet taste. The he gut-load-injects the African Hissing Cockroach with teriyaki before cooking. The African Hissing Cockroach is huge - about as big as a man's thumb."*

Something to think about for your next backyard luau :D
