An interesting use for cicadas.

Don't eat 'em. Drink 'em. A homebrewer in Arlington has made a barleywine with roasted cicadas as an ingredient. And you can see for yourself how many went into the mix.

I cannot imagine how much aging will be required to smooth out the flavor, and I can guarantee you that a cicada beer would not be my first of the evening (although it might well be my last).
