Rubes by Leigh Rubin for April 05, 2019

Amazingly, there’s a website devoted to what grasshoppers eat: http://www.whatdograsshopperseat.info

But are they organic grass fed?

Better safe than sorry.

Ingredients: 1 oz. (1 part) Fresh cream, 1 oz. (1 part) crème de menthe (green), 1 oz. (1 part) crème de cacao (white).

Preparation: Pour ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake briskly and then strain into a chilled cocktail glass.

Only eat free-range grasshoppers.

“Beginning of the End” Fifties theme all you can eat grasshopper buffet.

Reassuring.

But are they locally sourced?

When they can cross the rice paper without leaving a trace, then they will be ready to eat.

Live or cooked?

Except for the cannibal grasshoppers…

Grass feeds on whatever is available.

Then get me a large order. Tell the chef to hop to it.

and the grass has been meticulously cared for by Monsanto!

Yes but is it non-GMO, naturally fertilized, hand sheared grass?
