Dried caterpillars found in luggage at Gatwick Airport
A haul of dried caterpillars has been seized at Gatwick Airport during a luggage check.A 22-year-old man travelling from Burkina Faso via Istanbul was stopped on Saturday with 94kg (207lb) of dried caterpillars in four hessian bags.
The man claimed the tens of thousands of caterpillars were to be used as food and were for personal consumption.
The real disappointment here is the absence of any recipes.

It was a feint, so they could sneak the hookahs through.
