Locusts = desert shrimps!!

Desert locusts = food? = YUCK!!!

Adapted from bbc, they reported that in the north-eastern Borno State of Nigeria’s, these desert locust are now fried in vegetable oil+chili+salt+pepper to be eaten. Their nick name --> DESERT SHRIMPS.. argh. Apparently, these insects does taste like shrimps and some even go as far to specify that the hind legs are the tastiest part. ARGH. As u guys know, locusts are known to destroy hectares of crops when they descend. I guess, man has found a way to get their revenge...
EWWW....
