Those aren’t olives.
An Ohio restaurant seems to have found a use for the Brood X cicadas pestering parts of the Midwest. The Pizza Bandit in Dayton tested out a Spicy Thai Cicada Pie.
Yes, that’s a pizza with cicadas on it.
Before you get too excited — or repulsed — know that the restaurant is not selling cicada-topped pizzas. In a Facebook post showing off the new creation, the business noted, “We’re not even sure if we legally can sell you locally foraged Cicadas.”
The restaurant did livestream a tasting panel trying out the pizza, which also featured miso hoisin sriracha sauce, mozzarella, provolone, mushrooms, cabbage, green onion, mango, cilantro and a spicy Thai sauce.
“Opinions of the pizza range from absolutely delicious to … well … uh … yeah….,” the Facebook post said.
While cicadas are not toxic, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has warned people not to eat the insects if they are allergic to seafood. “These insects share a family relation to shrimp and lobsters,” the FDA said.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
Probably smothered in chocolate !!!
Lemme guess. The restaurant is called ‘Buzz’.
it’ll never fly...
Isn’t that SERE?
never been
Might be ok with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.
Keep your insects off my food. You want to eat them go ahead. I have worked hard to provide food I like until the day I die for family and friends.

Wonder if this punch recipe would go with the pizza?
About as close a relationship that a slug would have to an octopus - both being mollusks.
Put enough sriracha sauce on something and you can make almost anything edible . . . almost.
Yum .... Crunchy pizza ... Yum
Put enough sriracha sauce and hoisin on something and you can make almost anything edible . . .
I’d rather eat pineapple
Good grief!
What’s next? Pineapple??
Yep, with a lot of media push and UN approval, the Obamas will be eating steak and lobster while they demand that you, the unwashed masses, eat worms and bugs to save the environment.
Disgusting!
