i believe locusts are considered kosher.
“i believe locusts are considered kosher.”
But are they Halal?
I did eat locusts once in Thailand. Wings and legs stripped off, guts squirted out and refilled with a garlic/chili paste.
Would not recommend. Took a good 3-4 beers to reset my taste buds.
Could be - years ago, when China had a super rat problem, they started touting that rats were good food and an excellent source of protein...maybe someone will open a business selling “Tasty Crunchy Critters”...
The Torah in Parshat Shmini says:
"Every flying insect that uses four legs for walking shall be avoided by you. The only flying insects with four walking legs that you may eat are those which have knees extending above their feet, [using these longer legs] to hop on the ground. Among these you may only eat members of the red locust family, the yellow locust family, the spotted gray locust family and the white locust family. All other flying insects with four feet [for walking] must be avoided by you."
