Back in my backyard at Lawang, Papi sometimes called me to observe it. They are easy catch, but be careful their spiny hind legs can scratch your skin. If I got good catch, Papi would tell me to roast it in hot ashes. I dipped it for about two or three minutes until it turned golden brown. Blown off the ashes, it was ready to be . . . eaten! “Even John the Baptist ate it, Son,” said Papi. Yes, they’re tasty. Just don’t chew the head and legs. At first I squirmed. Bizarre food, eh?
Locusts are considered pests by farmers and gardeners alike. So, it was good to turn them into delicacy :)
