In China, offered the Russians to cook locust dishes

Fried locusts have not gained popularity among Russian tourists, although in China it is served as a crispy snack at every turn. The authors of the publication on the platform Sohu surprised skeptical attitude to this dish.

The reason for the reasoning was the invasion of locusts, which last summer faced several Russian regions. Insects threaten agricultural crops. In the Chinese publication offered to look at the pest and as a product for cooking.

According to the description of the authors, locusts are fried in deep frying or in a pan on a strong fire. For seasoning, salt, Sichuan pepper, garlic and other spices are used. Such a snack can be found in the Chinese markets. It is especially common in the northern and southern provinces of the country, where locust farming also works.

The authors consider the dish nutritious and undervalued outside of China. According to their observations, foreigners often distrust the offer to try insects, and Russian tourists do not show much interest in the snack.

The publication suggested that the use of locusts in cooking could facilitate the fight against it in Russia.
