In the central region of Uganda, nsenene is made at home by parents and children as well as by sellers. The grasshoppers are insects that Ugandans fry in their own oil with onions, chilies, and other spices after they have removed their wings and legs. They are less expensive since nsenene secretes oil; residents don’t need to purchase cooking oil.
The well-liked dessert is only accessible for a few months every year, specifically in November and the months around May during the wet season.
