A MART?NEZ, HOST:

Good morning. I'm A Martínez. When it comes to ice cream flavors, it's easy to stick to the classics - chocolate, strawberry, vanilla. But an ice cream parlor in Germany is taking advantage of new EU regulations to introduce a new flavor - crickets. It's made with cricket flour and topped with whole crickets. The owner says it's got some customers hopping⁴ for more. I've eaten crickets. It's OK. Your eyes have to get used to the sight. If that's not your style, though, he's got other options - liver sausage and gorgonzola cheese. It's MORNING EDITION.
