Grasshopper Season Is Here, and TikTok Chefs Are Going Too Far

The grasshopper season is upon us, and chaos reigns. Members, we need a serious intervention.

Those of you experimenting in kitchens like mad scientists, please pause.

Grasshopper katogo, grasshopper rolex, grasshopper sumbis, and now, apparently, grasshoppers with coffee.

What comes next, grasshopper cappuccino with a dash of cinnamon?

People of God, TikTok chefs, let the rest of us breathe.

Some of us enjoy grasshoppers for what they are, crunchy, unpretentious, humble snacks, not a ticket to a culinary apocalypse.

Those plotting grasshopper stew, hear this: do not. We are not ready for the full grasshopper takeover of our plates.

This is a Public Service Announcement. Let the grasshopper remain a snack, a tiny seasonal delight, a crunchy companion to idle afternoons.

Do not let ambition or social media trends convince you that every insect must be reinvented.

Keep your experiments for the brave, the adventurous, the ones who think edible and palatable are optional.

The rest of us will sit back, munching our grasshoppers, quietly judging your culinary audacity.
