The title is in keeping with the horror theme of my lastest video, which is now live and preluding a week before this year's Halloween Skate by the LFNS. I've only recently had the time to work on this video as I've been so busy with the whole marathon training. Nice to focus intensely on something else entirely for a change. The 'without monkey,' part of the title is referencing my skate movie series to help people find my videos easier on the internet. As a bonus to this year's film I've also done a 'VFX Breakdown,' video to give a little insight into the processes behind the effects, plus reveal a few things that you may not have picked up on....

 Insects in the Western world are seen as a nuisance as oppose to a protein rich source of sustainable food. My packet of Eat Grub Mealworms was quite expensive, however if we change peoples' perception of this tasty food it's possible to farm supply in a far more economical way. (These insects in particular are grown in the Netherlands). Admittedly when I first touched the packaging it gave me goosebumps. Once I got used to the look and texture I was eager to pop one in my mouth. The freeze dried mealworms have a crunchy texture and a nutty taste. For something so small I was surprised by how much flavour came out of them. I gave them a thumbs up and ate a few more straight out of the pack before proceeding to cook with them.   There are a few recipes on the Eat Grub website including this one from The Edible Insect Network for Mealworm Flapjacks! Obviously this had to be tested.
Mix them all together. Leave in the fridge for an hour. Preheat the oven to Gas Mark 3. Cook for 30 minutes, or till golden. Leave to rest for an hour. Cut to your preferred sizes.
My first cookery experience with insects was a success. The combination of flavours really compliment each other. I thought that maybe the visual experience may be a turn off but in actual fact I'm hunting around my kitchen worktop for any that may have dropped by accident. Hopefully in the future entomophagy (insect eating) will become a more common place and it's taboo typically associated with 'I'm A Celebrity,' Bush Tucker Trials will be alleviated. 
Look who managed to snuck into the official video for this year's Berlin Inline Marathon? (1:56 min). A nice edit and it gives me goosebumps watching this back.
