With a growing world population, insects are now looked into as a potential sustainable food source with low environmental impact..... However although considered taboo in the West, eating insects has been embraced by many cultures and has a long history. While considered revolutionary in the West, it is fairly common place in other cultures. Insects are known to be eaten in 80% of the world's nations.

The dim sim is a unique Australian take on the Chinese dumpling. Known colloquially as the "dimmy" to proud Australians everywhere, the Aussie dim sim is about twice as big and thrice as ugly as your standard Chinese variety known elsewhere. That beloved mix of pork and mystery meat, cabbage and flavourings is encased in a thick dumpling wrapper which is steamed or fried, then doused in a vigorous splash of soy sauce which must reliably leak through the brown paper bag from which it is eaten and drip lazily down your arm as you eat and walk. The dimmy is not to be eaten gracefully - Greedy Diva
