A Tasty Treat of Cicadas!!? image

If you dare! This is being posted because this is the year of the 17 year Cicadas. And because I wanted to post in a topic going on now at zaar (What is your least popular recipe?). I'm sure I'm not going to make it. And I can't imagine how popular it will be. I found this in a news paper and they got it from food-insects.com. If you dare, use newly hatched cicadas. Because their shells have not hardened yet. I guess like eating a soft shell crab. OK I'm guessing on amounts. The cooking time I'm thinking they are like large shrimp so I figure 3 minutes for cooking. I'm putting it in the Appetizers course even though I don't find it appetizing! You know we'll see by the end of the summer if I make them. They say it's high protein.

I'm not a big fan of cicadas, but I have to admit that this recipe is pretty good. The cicadas are crispy and flavorful, and the sauce is delicious. I would definitely make this dish again.

This recipe is a great way to get kids interested in trying new foods. My kids were hesitant to try the cicadas at first, but they ended up loving them. They said they tasted like popcorn.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover cicadas. I had a few leftover from a party, and I didn't know what to do with them. This dish was the perfect solution. The cicadas were delicious, and they were a great addition to my stir-fry.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed with the results. The cicadas were tough and chewy, and they didn't have much flavor. I wouldn't make this dish again.
