A TASTY TREAT OF CICADAS!!?
If you dare! This is being posted because this is the year of the 17 year Cicadas. And because I wanted to post in a topic going on now at zaar (What is your least popular recipe?). I'm sure I'm not going to make it. And I can't imagine how popular it will be. I found this in a news paper and they got it from food-insects.com. If you dare, use newly hatched cicadas. Because their shells have not hardened yet. I guess like eating a soft shell crab. OK I'm guessing on amounts. The cooking time I'm thinking they are like large shrimp so I figure 3 minutes for cooking. I'm putting it in the Appetizers course even though I don't find it appetizing! You know we'll see by the end of the summer if I make them. They say it's high protein.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a pan.
- Find the Adult Cicada they are the ones with red eyes and clear colored wings.You can either find them by following their beautiful screeching sound or just locate any tree.
- Leave them as is no need to tear off wings or legs they add to the crispyness.
- Mix together flour and seasonings.
- Mix together milk and egg.
- First dip cicada into egg then into flour mixture. Then drop into oil. Don't worry they wont try to fly away they are too dumb for that.
- Fry them for no longer the 2 minutes.
- Transfer to paper towels. Then serve immediately.
- I like a little hot pepper on mine but you can also use ketchup for the kids.
