Summer Learning Journey| Cicadas as Food

 Hello welcome back to my blog 

Today I will be doing another activity of the summer learning journey. This activity is quite strange. Lost of people around the world eat insects right this activity is asking us to make a dish using Cicadas. Some of you might be asking what is a cicada? a cicada is an insect that looks like a mix of a ant and fly but way bigger. For this activity I decide to use the Cicada pupa and the Nymphs and for the side I put rosemary and lettuce. Have you ever ate a Cicada?

  1. MMMMMM...I'm not sure if I would order this if it was on a menu.
    Would you Lyah?.

    I know that people often cook bugs and spiders and eat them.I have heard that if you eat a huhu bug,they taste just like peanut butter.I am NOT KEEN to try that to see if they are correct.

    Thank you for sharing and I am going to check your other posts that I haven't left a comment on.

    Keep warm :)

  2. Kia ora Lyah,

    Great job completing the step it up activity! This is certainly an interesting and creative meal! I wonder if cicada and rosemary go well together?

    You’re right, lots of people around the world eat insects! I’ve never eaten a cicada, would you try one? What is the weirdest thing you have eaten before?

    Well done using Google Draw to create your image, you’ve done a super job editing the photos! Do you have any tips for other bloggers when using Google Draw?

    Keep up the great mahi.

    Ngā mihi,
    Lauren

  3. Kia ora Lyah,
    I am working in schools as a facilitator.
    I agree, eating insects seems strange to us as we don't usually eat them in New Zealand. Your image actually looks appetising! I like the green salad leaves against the larvae. I think these are silkworm larvae and not cicadas. Cicadas are whiter and the mouthparts are more obvious.
    I have tried huhu grubs in lots of butter and cricket flour. Both were fine to eat. I think the hardest part is thinking about it!
    Ngā mihi,
    Maria
