Okay, those of you in Europe will know that the French are encouraging high-end restaurants to include various insects on their menus... but Kisiizi have been doing it for years! Only problem is they are seasonal...
Here is the extent to which villagers will go to catch grasshoppers at the right time of year - with lights, long pieces of corrugated iron [usually used as roof sheets] and old oil type drums to catch the insects disorientated by a smoky fire.
The result, after removal of heads and wings and frying in oil is as shown below.... brought for us today by a kind neighbour... tastes like shrimps [if you have a good imagination like my wife!]
maybe could do with a few chips?!
