The festival, which was held at The Forum, drew to a close on Sunday, October 29 with a talk by scientist Stefan Gates on the process food follows through the body.
Themed Food and Farming, the day's displays included a stand with rare Norfolk sheep, a city council exhibition on the importance of recycling and using left overs and a group of UEA pharmacy students making ice cream from liquid nitrogen.
Event producer Natalie Bailey said a company called Entomunch had also been offering food it had developed from crickets.
'There was cricket fudge and even chocolate covered crickets. I tried the fudge and it was delicious.'
