Gourmet Cicadas

Cicadas live underground for 17 years before emerging, mating and making lots of noise for 30 days. Then it's quiet for another 17 years. The science of the Cicada is interesting. Read more at ABCnews. But what really drew me in was the interest people have in eating them. Watch the video clip for more info. Cicada sushi, Cicada tempura, Cicadatini (martini). Yuck! The reporter says they taste like ham. Well, then I'll just eat ham.
