Srilana "Sri" Nutmoon/The Bug Crackery

Shortly after the founding of Hayboria, Sri acquired an old Lopp stone oven and used it to recreate her mother's bug cracker recipe. Bug crackers are a seasonal delicacy from Sri's home forest in Arboria, and are not universally known to all Aurin. Sri's new Aurin friends on Nexus, however, seemed to like them, and so Sri has continued to bake them. "Sri's Old Fashioned Bug Crackers" are now one Hayboria's fast-growing exports.

The Use of Bugs
The type of bug varies, but tend to use beetles and other "pretty" bugs that have a pleasant taste.

Jewel-toned bugs are used as decorative elements, sometimes roasted so they provide a nice crunch to the underlying cracker. The effect is similar to a human-style "chocolate chip cookie", except with bugs.

Sugar bugs are used for crunch.

Bug mash is also present in the original Cracklebug recipe, which gives the cracker its dense qualities. It is not slimy, however.

Available Flavors
Bug crackers are usually savory, though some cookie-like cracker variants exist (e.g. Bugberry). Currently, The Bug Crackery bakes and sells the following variants.


 * Old Fashioned Cracklebug is the original recipe, a lightly-seasoned dry cracker with small beetles inset into the surface, then glazed with a syrup wash. It's a delicate flavor. Sri leaves out something called "cudgelgum" out of her recipe, though technically her mother's recipe called for its bitter undertaste.


 * Smooth Beetlejuice Algorac Wheat Grass is a healthy option, earthy and densely green, packed with insect protein and vitamins. It is not Sri's favorite, but she made it as an expansion of her product line just to see what that would be like.


 * Evercrunch Bugberry is a crispy glazed wafer infused with crunchy caramelized sugar bugs and berry jam. The cracker is more of a cookie with a soft texture, the caramelized sugar bugs provided the crunch.
