Anyone fancy a free meal? Well, in this case you might want to think carefully about your answer, as the food on offer at Rentokil’s Pestaurant in Killarney this weekend includes a rather unusual and unexpected main ingredient…..insects.

 

Rally Note

 

Whether you’re in Killarney for the Historic Rally or just down to do a spot of Christmas shopping be sure to pop into the Liebherr Car Park for a meal you’ll never forget!

Some people, like me, just cannot stomach the idea of eating bugs. Yet millions of people across the world enjoy an insect-rich diet benefiting from the high levels of protein and zinc found in some common insects. Dieters amongst you also beware – insects are low in fat!

For one day only our pop-up Pestaurant will introduce the delights of mealworm burgers, crickets, ants and worms for FREE to promote the recognition of insects as a viable food source.

Burger

In a world with increasing demands on crops, eating insects may help to fight world hunger according to a UN report in 2013.

Pop along to meet some of our pest experts who will becheering on the Rally drivers but also dishing out advice on how to deal with common pest problems and answer any pest related concerns local to your home or neighbourhood.

If this isn’t enough to entice you….

How about a sneak preview of our menu below to whet your appetite?
