I can imagine this is a sobering experience,watching all these pests devour everything vegetative in sight.Australia went through the same thing recently.I guess if eating insects is your thing,it ain't so bad as one man put it...... "Delicious," said one Israeli man in Eilat, licking his lips after picking a locust off the ground and eating it raw. "They're a delicacy fit for a king." Luckily a cold front is moving in Monday and will stop the breeding process. http://cnn.netscape.cnn.com/ns/news/story....0&w=RTR&coview= Barbecued locusts (grilled): prepare the embers or charcoal. Place about one dozen locusts on a skewer, stabbing each through the centre of the abdomen. If you only want to eat the abdomen, then you may want to take off the legs or wings either before or after cooking. Several skewers of locusts may be required for each person. Place the skewers above the hot embers and grill while turning continuously to avoid burning the locusts until they become golden brown. Yummy. |

I don't think they'd cook too well in a microwave 54th.Quite a mess I'd presume. :pound |

Oh, now that's quite a site in my head! I once made the mistake of cooking escargot in the microwave to melt the cheese on top. Well, the effect was that of the smiley. What a mess! |
