NatCulture:
Since we went off on a JewwieTangent not so long ago, you may be
interested in knowing that Yemenites are the only Jewish culture known
to still eat locusts/grasshoppers (cf. Leviticus 11:21-22). Although i
haven't really heard of any locust-eating going on in Israel. Maybe
they only did it back in Yemen. From what i've heard, it always seemed
to be more of a famine necessity thing than a cuisine thing.
ObConCulture/Lang:
The Rokbeigalm probably eat all kinds of things that i can't and/or
won't, including bugs of various kinds. But i have no words for any of
them yet.
