Free lunch

Read today on the internet that cicadas are edible
just

No thanks

X2

Deep fried, chocolate dipped ... Yummy

Lol......I would rather deep frie some fish fillets or clams myself.

Let us know how they are, Bob!

No such thing as a FREE lunch.

Don't have cicadas here @ the moment.

Just heard on TV the USDA says they are edible. Fry roast or dip in chocolate. A warning though .... If you have a fish allergy know they are related to shrimp--weird huh
just

With wild honey!!

Yep. Think theres a few places that have lil festivals where they deep fry them when they swarm ... Can't remember where tho.

Reminds me of something I saw where there's a place in Africa where the mosquitos are so thick it's gotten to the point they actually will collect them in nets and basically make them into burger patties, cook and eat them

Yum
Blood meal.

They are, my chickens loved them!

The last time they were active my granddaughter and I caught dozens with the intention of preparing and eating them.

The wife was not happy, wasn't having any of that going on in her kitchen.

We ended up dumping them into the chicken enclosure. It was a melee, the chickens went into a feeding frenzy and devoured six or seven dozen cicadas in a few minutes.

I got a free coffee at love's truck stop today!.

In Matt 3:4 John ate locusts and wild honey.
So guess you could eat a cicada with wild honey

Hope I am never at the point I have to eat bugs

I was living in Illinois last time they swarmed there. It was like a biblical plague. Some place was offering a pizza topped with them but I never tried it. The dog loved them though, he'd eat them till he barfed.

Was told a few weeks ago by our state rep that Tyson Foods has invested in edible bugs as the dems are trying to outlaw meat. My opinion is when meat is outlaw, only outlaws will eat meat.

Nice!
