Hoppy meal
From locust recipes published on the website of the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization. Last fall many parts of Africa experienced the worst locust infestation in more than a decade; swarms of locusts, which can be 80 million strong, eat their own weight every day, and so are devastating to crops.
Remove the wings and hind legs of the locusts, and boil in a little water until soft. Add salt, if desired, and a little fat, and fry until brown.
Take several dozen locusts, slit the abdomen lengthwise, and stuff a peanut inside. Then lightly grill the locusts in a wok, adding a little oil and salt to taste.
