Richard, how in the world did you miss this subject?
We rely on you for this type of information.
"Most Americans don't realize that they are eating a pound or two of insects each year. This is because insects are a part of all processed foods from bread to tomato ketchup – it's impossible to keep mass-produced food 100% insect-free."
"Periodical cicadas are best eaten when they are still white, and they taste like cold canned asparagus," Kritsky writes. "Like all insects, cicadas have a good balance of vitamins, are low in fat, and, especially the females, are high in protein."
Who will be the first to accept this challenge?

Hungry? Try these seasonal cicada recipes
Fortunately, or unfortunately, if you happen to be a hungry bird, the pending cicada doom known as "Brood 5" will most likely spare the Tristate. But that doesn't mean you won't have some of the annual critters in your backyard.
