[Bidin~Time]

Do you? would you? could you? make a meal of them? Do you have a favorite cicada recipe? Care to share?

A 17 yr locust is like 136 in people yrs!

ok, not really, I just made that up.

But people do eat them...just not this people...yet. But i would give it a try just to say i had.

 

[pointless]

well, now we have a rough idea where you live. that's fun. and why are you calling cicadas locusts? bug racism isn't cool, dude.

 

[GuiltyPleasure]

...... why are you calling cicadas locusts? bug racism isn't cool, dude.

I LOL-ed......but then, I'm weird.

Patience young man, in time we will get it right, Grasshopper.

Wouldn't emerging be a better adjective?

Oh great, yet another ism; do the bugs know? For a rougher idea you could always look at my title

weirdness is the state of the day, my friend.

for those of us with no patience...then what?

that's one angry looking wasp

Probably, but I can't be held responsible for my lack of adjectives during the work week.

Thats just disgusting...can you imagine the crunching and cracking when you bite down on one, and then the oozing from the thorax...and then get a wing stuck in your teeth....um...no thanks

Not after we use the Bug-B-gone. Then they erupt.

In reality back when I lived in a little house on a prairie they flew in swams so thick we couldn't see the sun for weeks.
Daddy would shoot them with his shot gun and we had enough food to last all winter. It was a gift from the heavens!
newspapers and the telegraph reports back then only told the bad parts, kinda like they do now.

I'm pretty sure their taxonomic relations end at the sub-phylum classification of insecta.

They're gay locusts.
They're "coming out"

They (the recipe geeks) say you have to get them just after they shed their nymph shell and then boil them. For a nice crunch, they should be grilled or broiled afterward; sans legs and wings.

 

[Bidin~Time]

You all have fun with this...or not. My employer frowns on me being absent so it's off to work I go.

 

[pointless]

i'm just glad we don't get these until 2021. the buzzing from the normal cicadas is annoying enough. adding these fuckers just makes it worse.

 

[RobDownSouth]

I wonder which of Bidin~Times' sins the Good Lord is punishin' her for this time. Haven't seen a plague of locusts in her humble town since the Great Wife Swap Scandal of 1999.

 

[Noor]

I already have constant noise in my ears, I don't need more

 

[juttjaw]

I'd try those bugs. Why not? People have been eating them for millenia. Now eating a slice of Velveeta??? You're one sick fuck!

 

[Bidin~Time]

So, it appears very few people would cook and eat a cicada. You folks need to be more adventurous. They might be your new favorite food.

Insects are the future, apparently.
My local health food store stocks Ant Flour.
I haven't tried it yet, but I'm curious.
