There are many ways to cook a locust – but Malcolm Diack tends to keep it simple.

“One of my favourite ways to have them is just deep fried with a tiny, wee pinch of salt,” he said while frying some up for Country Life to taste.

“I would usually have them with a beer or something; just like chips.”
