Insectos como plato principal


"The Human Use of Insects as a Food Resource:
A Bibliographic Account in Progress" --Jane R de Foliart
Table of Contents and Preface
========== 
Part I. Introduction, The Western Hemisphere and Europe
Chapter  1. Introduction (not yet written)
 
BOLIVIA
             Only three reports are known of insect consumption in Bolivia.  According to Holmberg (1950; vide Hitchcock 1962: 184), one tribe, the Siriono, doesn't eat insects.

                                                                     Coleoptera
 Curculionidae (weevils, snout beetles)
             Guise (date?), who served for several years as an engineer in Bolivia, reported seeing several peons cutting into some palm trees that had been felled to make way for a road (vide Cutright 1943: 314).  They were "busily opening up the fibrous centers of the logs and extracting numerous fat white grubs which they carefully put into a tin can.  The peons, when asked for an explanation, replied that these larvae were tutuyus and that they were a great delicacy.  That night they fried them over a fire and ate them with unmistakable relish."

                                                                        Diptera
             La Barre (1948: 59) reported that the Aymara Indians of the Lake Titacaca Plateau sometimes made a chili-flavored ragout of the larvae of an aquatic Diptera species called cici.
 
                                                                   Hymenoptera
 Apidae (honey bees, bumblebees)
             Irvine (1957: 125) mentions that the Chaco Indians eat "bee brood."

Trans fat

Trans fat is the common name for unsaturated fat with trans-isomer (E-isomer) fatty acid(s). Because the term refers to the configuration of a double carbon-carbon bond, trans fats may be monounsaturated or polyunsaturated but never saturated.
Unsaturated fat is a fat molecule containing one or more double bonds between the carbon atoms. Since the carbons are double-bonded to each other, there are fewer bonds connected to hydrogen, so there are fewer hydrogen atoms, hence "unsaturated". Cis and trans are terms that refer to the arrangement of chains of carbon atoms across the double bond. In the cis arrangement, the chains are on the same side of the double bond, resulting in a kink. In the trans arrangement, the chains are on opposite sides of the double bond, and the chain is fixed in an approximately straight shape in this region.
The process of hydrogenation adds hydrogen atoms to unsaturated fats, eliminating double bonds and making them into partially or completely saturated fats. However, partial hydrogenation, if it is chemical rather than enzymatic, converts a part of cis-isomers into trans-unsaturated fats instead of hydrogenating them completely. Trans fats also occur naturally to a limited extent: Vaccenyl and conjugated linoleyl (CLA) containing trans fats occur naturally in trace amounts in meat and dairy products from ruminants, although the latter also constitutes a cis fat.
No trans fats are essential fatty acids; indeed, the consumption of trans fats increases the risk of coronary heart disease[1][2] by raising levels of "bad" LDL cholesterol and lowering levels of "good" HDL cholesterol.[3] Health authorities worldwide recommend that consumption of trans fat be reduced to trace amounts. Trans fats from partially hydrogenated oils are more harmful than naturally occurring oils.[4] Contents

Custard

Custard is a variety of culinary preparations based on a cooked mixture of milk or cream and egg yolk. Depending on how much egg or thickener is used, custard may vary in consistency from a thin pouring sauce (crème anglaise), to a thick pastry cream used to fill éclairs. The most common custards are used as desserts or dessert sauces and typically include sugar and vanilla. Custard bases may also be used for quiches and other savoury foods. Sometimes flour, corn starch, or gelatin is added.
Custard is usually cooked in a double boiler (bain-marie) or microwave, or heated very gently in a saucepan on a stove, though custard can also be steamed, baked in the oven with or without a hot water bath, or even cooked in a pressure cooker. Custard preparation is a delicate operation, because a temperature increase of 5–10 °F (3-6 °C) leads to overcooking and curdling. Generally, a fully-cooked custard should not exceed 80 °C; it begins setting at 70 °C.[1] A water bath slows heat transfer and makes it easier to remove the custard from the oven before it curdles.[2]
