As I was reading the news this morning, I came across a very interesting article - warning, it isn't for the faint of stomach.
Cicadas are set to swarm certain areas of the U.S. this summer, and so some chefs are coming up with creative recipes for cicada appetizers. According to the article, "cicadas are apparently a surprisingly good source of protein, according to nutritionists - if you are brave enough to eat them."
Female cicadas are meatier than the males, and should be grabbed early in the day when the temperature is cooler. You can saute them in lemon and butter for a crispy outside and juicy inside. Make sure the remove the legs and wings, which can be sharp, and you shouldn't eat them if you are allergic to shellfish (they are both in the arthropod family).
...delicious?
Happy Camping!
