I'm game. Had grasshoppers, crickets, and ants before, heard these are the best tasting of the bunch.

SW Ohio- Mom found one on the side of her greenhouse either yesterday or today. She went to a gardening seminar last week, and the extension agent who was speaking said that he dug up the larvae and steamed them. Claimed they tasted just like mashed potatoes. I happen to not like mashed potatoes anyway.

I had cicada soup with acorn dumplings at a Pow Wow once. I believe it was either the White Mountain or Cherry Cow Apaches that were selling it. Very similar in texture and taste to shell-on shrimp. The slight bitter taste of the acorn really made the bugs taste sweet.

I wonder if the fat could be rendered and how it would taste....

I read that article. He was allergic to shellfish. Hmm.. Didn't know cicada's had that too.

I remember my high school biology teacher making an off the cuff comment that sea crustaceans (shrimps, lobsters etc) were basically sea going insects...

I will not eat exoskeletons! If a lobster ran out from behind your furnace you would kill it with a shotgun and swear it was the ugliest thing you ever saw.

I refuse to skip links in the food chain!

Hilarious! Thanks for the laugh.

That's the only way I'd be able to afford to eat lobster anytime soon.
