You Can Eat 17-Year Cicadas Emerging In Ohio
When the 17-year cicadas emerge later this spring in Ohio, they could find their way to your dinner table.
By now, you've probably heard all the noise about the billions of 17-year periodical cicadas, whose emergence from the Earth is one of the true marvels of nature, that will be tuning up in Ohio this spring.
Did you know you can eat these nutritious, red-eyed bugs that are high in protein and low in fat? Deep fry them and serve with a hot mustard dipping sauce. Marinate them in teriyaki sauce. Bake them into a cake or pie.
Now that you've rearranged your face, know this: They're called the "shrimp of the land."
That's according to Isa Betancourt, an entomologist from Philadelphia's Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University.
"It's a delicacy that's rare," she told Lancaster Online of edible cicadas, which are among the bugs she's eaten.

Just sayin': You only get a chance every 17 years to eat these things and this is the year.

Wrong glass, Sir.
As long as the original down on South Parsons and--more importantly--Dan's Drive In on South High Street are still around, I'll sleep easy knowing that old school Appalachian Columbus is still there.

The morse one is 3 minutes from my house and , I spent way too many 3-5am hours there from 1993 to 2005.
