You will eat the cicadas every 17 years
>Chef Bun Lai says cicadas can kind of taste like nuts, “but with every bite, my nose is reminded of popcorn, too.”
>And while some people will delight in their natural spectacle, others will just want to be rid of them. There is, however, another reaction: Grab a fork and knife.
>As Brood X emerges over a broad swath of the eastern United States, from northern Georgia to New York, some areas will see millions of the insects per acre. Most inhabitants will have more than they know what to do with. Now could be the ideal time to refine the US palate. “Over 80 percent of the world’s nations eat insects,” Yoon says. “Why are we missing out?”
>With so many benefits to upping consumption, many people see insect-eating as part of food’s inevitable future. Investors are banking on Big Bug. (Market researchers predict the global edible insect market will reach $4.63 billion by 2027, with North America as the fastest-growing sector.)
