"At one point during the conference, a Yemenite Jew prepared a kosher locust- Sephardi Jews, unlike Ashkenazim, ate such kosher insects until recently-but there weren't many takers when it came time to eat the fried grasshopper."

I thought it wasn't known which specific species of locust was kosher?

I think there are a few kinds kinds defined by color. Telling them apart may well be a lost art, though someone must have figured it out for the restaurant. I wonder where you order locusts?

Ashekenaz Jews do not have a tradition identifying which species of locust are kosher. Sephardi Jews do. Therefore, Sephardi Jews eat certain locusts, while Ashkenaz Jews don't.
