“Michelin-starred restaurateur faces jail for using ants as dessert garnish”
—BBC

In Seoul it’s considered OK
to garnish a bingsu sorbet
with a two-spotted cricket
(you won’t become sick), it
will please gastronome and gourmet.

But a chef believed he could enhance
l’intermède (as they call it in France).
Now he might lose his stars
and end up behind bars—
Hélas! for a sprinkling of ants!
