sky prawns

From Australia: Euphemistic name for locusts to enhance their acceptance as a culinary possibility. When they are in plague proportions they are effectively home-delivery bush food.

Bazza: Stone the crows, these bloody locusts have eaten all my crops.
Shazza: Don't worry, darl. We're having those sky prawns for dinner. Would you prefer Sky Prawn Bisque or Sky Prawn Stir-fry?
