In Uganda, grasshopper hunters work through the night to catch as many insects as possible. They are sold at dawn at markets, before being grilled. At each major crossroads in the capital, vendors offer them to passers-by, who can’t get enough. In baskets, on the ground or even directly in casseroles, these insects aren’t repulsive to locals, but a valuable source of delicious protein. « It tastes a bit like meat, or even chicken, » explains a passerby.
