Cicada Pie: http://www.channelcincinnati.com/new...23/detail.html

OR

Here are a few recipes from cicada gourmets:
1) Marinate cicadas in Worcestershire sauce at least one hour. Dip in egg, then in flour or breadcrumbs. Deep-fry and serve with soy or cocktail sauce.

2) Place cicadas on cookie sheet and roast for 10 to 15 minutes at 225 degrees. When dry grind coarsely and use as nut substitute in bread or on ice cream. A finer grind can be mixed 50:50 with flour to make a high-protein dough.

3) Drop cicadas briefly in boiling water. Coat with red pepper, garlic and ground bay leaf.

4) Stir-fry with garlic, ginger and bite-sized vegetables.


From my understanding you want to eat them while they are freshly moulted and still white so they're soft.


Are you serious??

I'm feeling rather ill.
