 You can try free insect ice cream at ANU and Garema Place this week


Pop-up stalls at Garema Place and ANU are offering free ice cream this week - but there's a catch.

The stalls will be scooping up insect ice cream - which is exactly what is sounds like.

There are four ice creams on the menu: Scurry Berry with blueberry, raspberry and a mix of insects, Choc Hopper with chocolate and grasshopper chunks, Strawberries and Swirls which has strawberries with cream and meal-worm swirls, and Nutritious Neopolitan with critters mixed into strawberry, chocolate and vanilla.

The giveaway is to highlight insects as a sustainable protein source and meat alternative, with many around the world already incorporating bugs into their diet.

The ice cream pop up will be at ANU on Wednesday, February 28 and Friday, March 2 10am-5pm, and in Garema Place on Thursday, March 1 from 10am-6pm.
