=======================================

Clement of Alexandria has two quotes

Exhortation to the Heathen
https://ccel.org/ccel/clement_alex/exhortation/anf02.vi.iii.ii.xi.html

The blessed John, despising the locks of sheep as savouring of luxury, chose “camel’s hair,” and was clad in it, making himself an example of frugality and simplicity of life. For he also “ate locusts and wild honey,”1539 sweet and spiritual fare; preparing, as he was, the lowly and chaste ways of the Lord.

=======================================

The Instructor (Book II)
https://www.newadvent.org/fathers/02092.htm

And happiness is found in the practice of virtue. Accordingly, the apostle Matthew partook of seeds, and nuts, and vegetables, without flesh. And John, who carried temperance to the extreme, ate locusts and wild honey. Peter abstained from swine; but a trance fell on him, as is written in the Acts of the Apostles, and he saw heaven opened, and a vessel let down on the earth by the four corners, and all the four-looted beasts and creeping things of the earth and the fowls of heaven in it; and there came a voice to him, Rise, and slay, and eat. And Peter said, Not so, Lord, for I have never eaten what is common or unclean. And the voice came again to him the second time, What God has cleansed, call not common.

Υπάρχει ολόκληρο βιβλίο, The Diet of John the Baptist, όπου στη σελ. 21 διαβάζω (σημ. 70):
There is no basis in Greek usage for the traditional notion (born no doubt of Western squeamishness) that the word ακρίδες refers here not to locusts but to the carob or 'locust'-bean.

"John the Baptist's diet, which the bible indicates was locusts and honey, has been the centre of much discussion. For many years it was traditional to interpret locust not as referring to the insect, but rather to the seed pods of the carob tree. Albright and Mann believe that this attempt to portray John the Baptist as eating seed pods was a combination of concern for having such a revered figure eating insects and also a belief that a true ascetic should be completely vegetarian. It is certainly the case that in Greek the two words are very similar, but most scholars today feel this passage is referring to the insects, particularly since the other 22 times the word is used in the Bible, it quite clearly refers to insects. Locusts are still commonly eaten in Arabia, and like many insects are quite nutritious. While most insects were considered unclean, Leviticus permits locusts. "
