I think Toyama is when we had our, got our locusts and the doctor told us to eat them, like they were dishing them out ten per man. There was just one barrel brought in. And these were pickled locusts and they were dishing them out ten per man. Of course, a lot of guys wouldn’t eat them. I ate mine, I ate anything. And the doctor came down, he said, “You guys are not eating your, a lot of you guys are not eating your grasshoppers. I’m putting them in the rice.” So he put them in the rice and there was about that much oil sitting on top of the rice. And he said, “That’s what you guys need!” He said, “You eat pigs, which eats slop and everything else. You eat chicken which eats worms and all this sort of stuff off the ground but grasshoppers, all they eat is greens and grass, greens and grain, it’s all they eat so...” But anyways, it was put in the rice and at one time, while we were in town we got some beans. And the doctor, for some of the ones that were real sick, he squeezed all the beans and got the milk out of them and gave them to the sick people. It helped them quite a bit. But as far as the beans, they put into the rest of the beans, they put into the rice, it just went through us because we had no digestive organs to do anything with. Like I mean, you’d eat this stuff in the rice and you’d go out to the biffy and it was all gone.
