Locusts

[vetran]

I like eating bugs. They were first introduced to me by a Thai prostitute with oddly big ears. The evening was spoiled by my friend calculating the average distance her head had bobbed backwards and forwards per year (Had I been her customer it would have been a bad year) - anyhow I digress.

Back on track - bugs are the future & very tasty. Avoid the tourist crap like scorpions & stuff like bamboo grubs are great.

So you are saying you can't go the distance? Mr short fuse ? 1, 2 ooops?

Are they for human consumption?

If they are eaten by a human, then yes.

You could go to the wild bird food section in your local garden centre and buy a packet of meal worms.

I have these at home, also the Sweet Lime and Chilli ones, not too bad:

Just one of these bad boys could feed a family of four for a whole week!

Weren't locusts suppose to be the non-plant based protein we need to consume to save the planet?

Just watching Unreported World (yes, I know, a bit woke, but sometimes it's of interest). It's a documentary about locusts swarms. Apparently, in ancient times, people offset the loss of crops by catching the insects and eating them.

Nowadays, governments and large farming concerns who need the crops, are spraying the locusts with insecticide. So you can't eat them.

Shame. They're awfully tasty.

They are Lotus Biscuits, not Locust Biscuits.
