One of the scariest moments as a child that I experienced was when the minister spoke of John the Baptist eating wild honey and locust. All I could picture was a wild man with bug legs sticking out of his lips. I was scarred, no doubt. It superseded Jonah in the whale's belly.

The Webster's Dictionary provides several definitions of locust: 1. short-horned grasshopper; 2. cicada; 3. any of various hard-wooded leguminous trees as carob and black locust and honey locust; 4. the wood of a locust tree.

Carob is defined as 1. a Mediterranean evergreen leguminous tree with red flowers; 2. a carob pod and its sweet pulp.

As for myself, I would rather think that John enjoyed the sweet pulp from a carob pod (i.e. locust) with his wild honey - but whatever form the locust came in, one thing's for sure, that being - John sure thought it was tasty!
