Monomad Challenge | The Myth of the Grasshopper

1706180319353.jpg

In my village, people believed that grasshoppers disguised as genies or something mystical, such as bad luck, bad luck often stuck to these long-legged insects. This belief is actually just a myth, but it has been believed by some traditional people, they generally consider a grasshopper to be a spirit.

However, uniquely for people in agricultural areas, their plantations actually consider grasshoppers to be a delicious food. We can find this where some traditional agricultural societies see grasshoppers from a different angle. If ancient people had grasshoppers with something mystical, traditional agricultural communities saw these insects as their special culinary specialty.

Note that not all grasshoppers can be consumed, they taste delicious, of course they are not suitable. However, there are many types of grasshoppers that can be cooked deliciously, fried and according to many people, some grasshoppers are consumed. This is not a grasshopper that is delicious to eat, in my place this grasshopper is not eaten.

That's right what you said, indeed in ancient times people in the countryside they really liked to hunt insects at night, because the back taste was very delicious, at that time I was a child and had also hunted grasshoppers.
Back then you find this if in my area it is often called cangkadak
