Eating trendy Brood X cicadas | New York Post

They are the gateway bug into the intoxicatingly crunchy world of insect eating.

After lying dormant for nearly 20 years, the cacophonous Brood X cicadas have finally emerged on the East Coast.

But this time around, the most adventurous among us won’t be satisfied merely hearing the deafening critters — some are preparing to cook these trending buggers up like a terrestrial crawfish boil.

“You wanna eat the females, because they’re full of eggs,” Gene Kritsky, author of “Periodical Cicadas: The Brood X Edition,” told The Post. Ditching the tired just-like-chicken comparison, he analogized their flavor to something more like “cold asparagus.”
