I was just thinking, when the little ****ers are destroying their crops why don't they net the locusts? Effectively the locusts are turning carbs into protein. No brainer.
I ate them in Mauritania. Simple bush tucker. The ****ers are everywhere. People I was with would fry them up in a little iron skillet. They are really ****ing tasty. It makes a lot of sense to eat insects for protein. There are billions of the ****ers everywhere and they don't need to be farmed or have forests cut down to graze them.
I've done a few food shows with a company that sells crickets. It's a hard sell tbh, but it's good stuff.
If you haven't already, watch this. Is global warming really down to burning fossil fuels? https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8618654/
We've known that monocrops and intensive farming, requiring pesticides and herbicides is a bad idea for decades. The market dictates that people want cheap food, produced on an industrial scale. But the reality is that we can produce just as much on small scale set ups, using regenerative techniques which it looks like that film highlights.
Eating liver is a generational thing. I remember we used to have Lambs Liver with Onions, mashed potato and gravy once a week when I was a kid but I haven't seen it or eaten it since then. When cooked properly it was quite tender and a nice taste as long as it was smothered in onions and gravy. Those little veins you used to find though put me off, together with the occasionally tough piece, probably from an alcoholic sheep. Its also very dry if eaten on its own. I have eaten cows brains in Turkey but the worst offal I have seen is Cow Lung. They serve it in the Padang Restaurants here. Padang Food is generally a number of dishes with various unusual looking meat pieces in spicy sauces. They put the whole range out and you eat the ones you want and they take the rest back and serve them again. The lungs normally look as though they have been going back and forth for the last 5 years. please log in to view this image
