Yummy To The Tummy - It's Locust In My Mouth !!


It is of course common in Africa, Japan and Thailand to eat insects such as locusts, worms, crickets etc. as a delicacy....but now it seems to be becoming a trend in Europe too. Anyone with any experience??

At a nearby stand with a Dutch name that translated roughly as the Tasting Garden, there were more insects than garden. While shoppers gazed with puzzled looks, Mr. Van Dongen, 41, warmed up portions of an Asian vegetable dish with crickets mixed in.

Yes, in Africa - we also came to know of a custom whereby newly-weds are offered juice of the larger winged ants.
Eating, or food, therefore, is a habit and has little to do with anything else including faith or ethic or whatever.
