Some Curious Insect Dishes for the
Allaylng OF the Appetite.
The ancient Israelites ate locustS,
fried in oil, and many modern travel
ers in Africa have pronounced we'll
cooked locusts to be both succulent
and nourishing, with something Of the
taste Of boiled eggs. The old great
philosopher, Socrates, who knew sew
eral things, considered dish of we'll
cooked grasshoppers to be more tooth
some than quail on toast, and the
French army in Algiers found that
grasshoppers, simply boiled in salt
water, were not only good eating, but
a valuable addition to army diet, and
the old campaigners carried the GUS
tom back home with them, SO that to-
day grasshoppers are valued in many
French provinces as an article OF food.
In Poitiers, France, the children catch
grasshOppers in the fields and eat their
legs raw. The natives on Lake Nyassa,
Africa, catch in nets small flies called
the koungo and make cakes Of them.
They are said to have the taste of
caviar. In many Of the South Sea is
lands spiders are the chief table deli
cacy. In portions of Central and South
America caterpillars are a choice titbit
and have been approved by some trav-
elers who have tasted them. The
French bon vivant enjoys his dish of
snails and in many French country
districts a cricket called the cockchafer
is regarded as excellent food. In fact,
a resolution once offered In the
French senate, to provide funds for the
destruction of the cockchafer because
of it's injury to vegetation in certain
seasons, met with strong opposition
from many learned senators because of
its value to the people as food prod
