Yes Alex, I take "Things that rich people will never eat for 500"
Don't be so sure. The baseball stadium in my city started selling roasted crickets for like $9 per tiny cup, and people have been buying shitloads of them.
Tasty and novelty can sell real well to rich folk.
I am guessing you have a lot of Oaxacan Mexicans around your stadium. Fried crickets are big in Oaxaca. When I lived in L.A., you could buy Tacos de Chapulines from street vendors in some places.
I've eaten insects. They taste fine. They're high in protein. They're probably the greenest possible livestock.
A huge percentage of the world eats insects as part of their diet. It's only in the west that we have this crazy needless taboo. People are even disgusted by cricket flour. You can't see crickets in cricket flour. Things baked with cricket flour taste fine. And are higher in protein.
No way in hell I would pay that much for what is essentially fry batter with a bit of protein added in. Sure, fry batter is delicious but you can get it much cheaper pretty much anywhere.
Generally speaking, I don't think that baseball games are the most-economical place to get food.

If they're talking about Dodger Stadium, you can get a cricket taco (tacos de chapulines) for a few bucks from a street vendor before you even get to the stadium.
I recommend it.
Fabulously wealthy people do not go to baseball games and sit in the stands.
Such an odd phrase.
While the engineers might be able to make it tasty it's not intended to become a novelty.
Healthy food like Grassfed cows and fresh organic vegetables will be a novelty.
Oh they would eat it if it was rice covered in poor people cells...
What about rice covered in rich people cells we feed to everyone else?
Probably a little gamy and maybe a little too salty for most people.
