I DEFY for anyone to find that ANY of these idiots are actually serving such food IN THEIR HOMES.
They should have served cicadas, “lobster of the trees” at the Met Gala last night - to show all us peons the correct way forward - nope. You can be sure they were dining on organic, grass-fed Wagu beef and sustainably-farmed lamb, etc.
Not sure about where you are but (Thank God) cicadas are not a problem here in So Cal - we have plenty of other problems of our own, the introduction of mosquitos in 2011, for example...
I visit family in Indiana and they certainly get cicadas during the summer - huge ones! My relatives aren’t bothered by them but I usually run screaming indoors - then the “shells” are all over the patio in the morning, which they just sweep up. I stayed away this year b/c: “This spring Indiana will see the emergence of the 17-year cicadas.”
Hate the things and the idea of eating them makes me wanna....
