Locusts are delicious.  They 'swarmed' regularly in Africa  when their huge 
numbers
would darken the sky.  They should be fried in sim-sim oil and eaten whole 
otherwise
the green gunge in the middle can appear unappetising if two bites are 
taken.  The
wings should be removed.  Very nutritious.  My mouth is watering at the 
thought of
the locust repasts which I have enjoyed whilst being hospitably entertained 
by my
many African friends.  Nature is a great provider.
