The Russian Locust.
In Russia the locusts are smoked
like fish: in Algiers they are boiled
in water and saited. The legs and
wings are always removed and the
insect In dried before beeing eaten:
no tribe eats the green insect. When
properly cooked and seasoned. locusts
are very palatahle and resemble beef
broth somewhat in taste. Fried To-
Gusts are also very delicious.
\ II is certain that LOCUST Is a very
nourishing food. for locust eating
tribes are, invariably fat and healthy.
Among the native Filipinos the
grasshopper is the most common ar

Philippines grow to a very great
size and travel in swarms. These
swarms will settle on a farm, and
