Would you dare to eat one of these ‘Hamburgers’ made from mosquitoes?

Burgers are a popular food item for many people worldwide, whether they are made from beef, chicken, or mushrooms for vegetarians. However, have you ever considered a burger made entirely from mosquitoes?

Although that might sound hard to stomach, that’s exactly what residents of the surrounding areas of Lake Victoria in Africa eat every single year. During the rainy season, trillions of midges rise from the water and fly in giant swarms.

These swarms are so dense that locals are able to catch vast quantitates, which they mush into patties and fry up as burgers.

Did you know that it takes 500,000 mosquitoes to make one of the patties?
