Cicada... The Cook-out
On a sunny Sunday evening in May, John, Donna and Hojun had an unusual experience with an equally unusual question. Hmmm, what would cicadas taste like? According to Donna, who was a little bit skeptical in the beginning, cicadas taste nutty. Here we document the exciting culinary adventure. |
 |
| Cicadas were all over John's house, and literally there was unlimited supply of "raw" cicadas. |
 |
| We decided that wings are not edible, so we took the wings off. |
 |
| And... here are the wingless cicadas soon to be cooked. |
 |
| John thought that tempura would be the way to go, with fresh vegetables. |

| Cicadas were dipped in to the tempura batter. |
 |
| And, the deep frying began. |

| Hojun made an Asian-style dish with garlic, onion, zucchini, pepper powder, and of course cicadas. |
