Swazi snack food



My dear friend Twana prepared this snack for her family, and I just happened to visit. Her daughter was sitting on the couch, eating these flying insects (that taste a little like eggs -- thanks to the eggs in their little bodies). I put one in my mouth and ran around the room screaming. Her son Kusa, looked at me like was an idiot. I was. This snack food is gathered after a rain, when the insects lose their ability to fly. They are gathered, dried, you pull off the wings and pop them into your mouth.

Good source of protein, I'm sure. Taste like chicken!
