Ways to serve the dare.

GRIG snacks are built to be eaten straight from the bag — but if you like a little theatre, these six recipes put the crunch to work. Every one of them is quick, real and tested on actual skeptics.

• The Fearless Party Board — three kinds of crunch, two dips, one table sorting itself into the brave and the curious.
• Cricket Bolognese — cricket flour in the sauce, whole dried crickets on top. Comfort food with a plot twist.
• Mealworm Tacos — pico de gallo, lime crema and a crunch chapulines fans will recognise.
• The Crunchy Salad Upgrade — dried crickets instead of croutons. Same job, better story.
• The Pizza Upgrade — a golden topping that starts arguments and disappears first.
• Movie Night Mix — popcorn plus salted mealworms. The bowl empties faster.

House rule for every recipe: the dare is always voluntary — hand it over with a grin, never hide it in the food.
