Eat any cicadas lately?

00022702h8662781 <<-After reading the article on cicada cuisine in today's Tribune, we're dying to try a chocolate-covered cicada, but it seems  none of Chicago's many chocolatiers have discovered the joy of the crispy little critters.

"It sounds terrifying," said the person we chatted with at Vosges. Well, since the cicadas have only just emerged, maybe we'll find some for you in the coming weeks. In the meantime, we want to know: Have you eaten any of the bugs -- raw or otherwise? Would you dare? (And if you're looking for an alternative, check out the mole-drenched crickets at Tepatulco.)

I indeed did attempt to eat a cicada. I got about five bites in when its juices exploded in my mouth and the most disgusting taste dispersed. It's very hard to describe the taste but if you'd like to see the video of what happened go to :
