Well, I can handle that Spanish translation.

Chocolate Milk and Grasshopper… the new recovery gel.

The Wikipedia article linked in the original post talks about locusts being used for food. They are even kosher for Jews. High in protein.

Here is a link with good info on them. Check out the recipes at the bottom of the page. http://www.fao.org/ag/locusts/en/info/info/faq/index.html

Funny, we call Whitman’s Sampler here “Whitman’s Sampler.”

We can arrange them. Also, just a few hours south of us is Belize. I hear they have really tasty termites.

Mmmm… Crunchy.

You’d figure that Jesus’ cousin could turn water into (at least) a wine cooler. Okay, bad joke… sorry. No, I like John the Baptist, but that diet of Locust and Honey. Honey good, Locust bad. Of course, I only think that because I have eaten Spicy Buffalo Wings.

I wouldn’t doubt that they ate locust. I don’t have the nutritional facts of them handy, but you eat what is available to you. Here on American Samoa, it’s bananas, bread fruit and coconuts and little black lizards.

i’d probably eat locust, definitely if they were in chocolate… lots and lots of chocolate.

So what’s Spanish for “Whitman’s Sampler”?

I hope grasshoppers are not on the dinner menue on our next visit to Mexico. I have an open mind, but I’m not sure its that open.
