Nsenene, a local name for grasshoppers here, is a central Ugandan delicacy as well as an important source of income.
Grasshoppers are a snack lured by lights, trapped in barrels, and then fried up in a little oil with salt. The recipe may vary. Their coming coincides with the end of each rainy season espicially in Noverber and mid december. traped in metal barrels fitted with a pieces of corrugated iron sheets, grasshoppers become dazzled by the scotching lights at night. At dawn, they are collected in plastic bags and sold at roadside , and in major markets like Nakasero, kamwokya, owino. So be sure to taste this mouth watering snack any time to join the end less list of royal fans
The point to note is that, if these insects weren’t eaten, their would be devastating effects on the environment as they fload in thousands each year.The huge local consumption acts as a control measure in a way to ward off the dangers
consuming grasshoppers or Nsenene which are rich in protein,is a good source of nutrition to the populance.
As a Source of income too: free if you can spare a good night sleep and sell them expensively your likely to afford say eduction for your children, build a house or buy a car with a good harvest season.
