Crawfish, gumbo and cicadas? New Orleans serves up array of insect-based treats
Fox News
The upcoming emergence of trillions of periodical cicadas is not just a nuisance but also an opportunity for culinary exploration, according to some in New Orleans.
Periodical cicadas stay buried for years, until they surface and take over a landscape. Depending on the variety, the emergence happens every 13 or 17 years. This year two groups are expected to emerge soon, averaging around 1 million per acre over hundreds of millions of acres across parts of 16 states in the Midwest and South.
