I do so very much appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge about the various plant friends I had in my garden this year, TIK...including the grasshoppers!
While I have understood for some time that grasshoppers are indeed edible and highly nutritious, and are considered a special delicacy in many cultures, I am not quite ready yet to eat them. But if compelled, I know I likely would be pleasantly surprised. I imagine what I would do first would be to dry them, powder them, then add them to a soup for the protein content. “What you do know....” etc.
I know people who swear that roasted grasshoppers taste like shrimp.
To which I always answer “But I don’t like shrimp.”
I’d rather let the chickens eat them. Too bad I don’t have chickens.
I was thinking that I might coat them in a large amount of chocolate, and pretend they were nuts.LOL
