    Locusts

    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.
    Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

    They are Lotus Biscuits, not Locust Biscuits.

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

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

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

          Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

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

              Are they for human consumption?

                If they are eaten by a human, then yes.

                  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.
