Hello! Sorry to hear you didn't think our grub was quite to your taste. On our website we have loads of recipes and instructions on the best way to cook. Grasshoppers really need a few hours to soak before cooking to re-hydrate for plumpness. When it comes to the price, they SHOULD be cheaper, unfortunately, as anything 'fringe' the cost to manufacture is far higher than mass produced products. The traditional meat machine cut prices all the way through the supply chain, and because of the West's insatiable appetite - they can afford to do so. They also cut out environmental factors and animal welfare. We hope to be able to compete on price in the future but for now we are happy to pay a little more for the piece of mind. If you have any more questions don't hesitate to contact us on Facebook or email - info@eatgrub.co.uk, as you will get a quicker response. If you feel the 1 star rating was a little harsh after this then we would be very grateful if you could review that, it's been a **** year, we all need some love. Grub love, Pops.
