Cicadas - Are you hungry?

[Calvin45]

Smoked, everything smoked is good. Maybe wrapped in bacon just for good measures.

And here I am questioning if the legalization of marijuana is the best idea...but if folks out there are smoking cicadas I suppose we're past worrying about something as mundane as weed

How do you gut them?

 

[dmj]

Very carefully

I know I personally won't eat them but I'm hoping to eat some trout that will eat them. Last time we had them noisy suckers here we slayed the trout on them. A couple weeks of sore arms

I just don't like biting down on shot while I am eating.

University of Tenn prof has recipes for them if anyone is interested. Here are some recipes for appetizers and main dishes. Somehow term appetizer doesn't apply for me!!

Yep! I am not a fan, but I grew up eating them. We use to hunt (well, net them with pillowcases or burlap) them as kids.

I guess that gives me the survival advantage.
