"Mmmm!" said one of the outreach workers to me in a conversation in the office today. "You will like grasshoppers very very much! They are delicious!"
He was teasing me however, because grasshoppers are not in season at the moment!
"We also like to eat caterpillars in Zambia," he continued.
"Are they also only available in the rainy season?" I asked.
"No, you can eat them all year round."
So now I have a mission! Let's see if I can manage to eat caterpillars before I leave Zambia!
Here's a couple of pictures of fried caterpillar:
Here's a picture of grasshopper on a plate with some of the national staple, nshima (which is just the same as ugali, i.e. pounded maize)
