GRAssHOPPERs AS FoOD.-Leut. ID.
A. Lyle has eaten grasshoppers out
West, and he lately read a paper before
a Springfield science association prais-
ing them as food. Although ti.cy at
urally have disagreeable smell, he says
that when cooked they become pleasant
to both smell and taste, no disguise be-
ing required. They can be eaten after
boiling two hours, with pepper and salt,
and thus prepared are not easily distin-
guished from beef broth. Fried in their
own oil they have a nutty flavor. One
drawback to their use food is the homes
in the small locusts, though i'll the large
ones these can be easily removed. Some
residents of st. Louis have tried a din
ner of these skillfully prepared, and like
it very well, and, after becoming accus-
toned to the flavor, they are considered
a desirable addition to the bill of fare
by some. These locusts feed on yege-
table matter, and so may properly be
classed as clean food.
