The 17 Year Crop

[Robertt S]

I am currently taken orders for the main ingredients for a Chinese delicacy. My children have their nets and boxes prepared for the hunt which should begin within the next few days. The experts are predicting a bumper crop this season ,so get your orders in early! 

Here is a link to a recipe book for those of you who are adventurous!   http://www.newsdesk.umd.edu/pdf/cicada%20recipes.PDF

Is this the year of the Cicada? I hadnt heard that.

My grandparents and most people around here has always called then locust bugs. I love to listen to them sing in the summer but have never ate any yet. I dont think I will start now but will be interested to see Linda and Ziwei's reaction.

According to everything I have heard they are coming this year!

If they are a delicacy then my wife must really love me as she serves them to me three times a week.

I tried the chicken feet, but I draw the line at eating what I normally bait hooks with!

I wont eat chicken feet. Cause...you know where they have been walking. yep, chicken-shit. And they don't wear shoes.

But people eat eggs and you know where they come from.

Precisely the kind of idea why I don't eat fish.  Why?  They fornicate in water.

They also do many other things in water!
So another warning is due 'DON'T drink the water'.
