Land of the Locust Eaters

The swarm of locusts which, showing no respect for borders, arrived in Israel this week from Egypt has triggered a good deal of online comment about whether you can eat them or not (though how you catch them I don't know - perhaps with an aeroplane with a very large net).

If you want to know about the kashrut of locusts, then I commend the blog of Rabbi Natan Slifkin, aka the Zoo Rabbi here.
