Christmas Grub in Tokyo

In Tokyo this Christmas you could find tarantulas not turkey on the menu. Sky News Asia correspondent Peter Sharp took a trip to an insect restaurant where they're giving 'good grub' a new meaning.


Language note
The word 'grub' is used with a double meaning. A grub (countable) is an insect larva while grub (uncountable) is an informal word for food. You can find out the origin of grub meaning food here (don't worry, it's got nothing to do with eating insect larvae!)
