Swarms of desert locusts are invading parts of East Africa, destroying hundreds of thousands of acres of crops — and the United Nations says weird weather, complicated geopolitics and war are to blame.

    Maybe I'm daft but I was wondering the same thing. lol. If I'm truly starving, I'm going to be making locust sandwiches.

    In Mexico they boil them, sun dry them and serve them with a little lime and pepper.

    I have eaten three types of insects: honey bees, chocolate covered ants and grasshoppers. All three were canned. The bees tasted like crusted honey, not bad; the ants sort of reminded me of raisin glossettes, but a lot more acidic; but the grasshoppers :| , my first reaction was they can't taste worst than they smell... I was wrong, very wrong. Bees and ants... ok, grasshoppers... never again.

    I imagine it would be like any 'meat'. Terrible from a can. I mean, have you had that dogfood substitute that Newfs call 'potted meat'? PDT_Armataz_01_32

    I've had fried grasshoppers and they tasted pretty good.

    Well, we've had the plague and locusts. Now all we need is the darkness, and then to kill all the firstborns.
