DESHAYES: You know, I don’t eat insect. It’s not something that I eat every day. So two weeks ago, I start to harvest them. And I say, OK, what you will be the good safety to eat them? So I blanched them on the boiling water for five minutes. And after that, I laid them on the sheet pan. And I roast them for 2 1/2 to three hours at 200 degrees.

MARTIN: Oh.

DESHAYES: So what I end up having is a very dry cicada. They look like a little snack.

MARTIN: Yeah.

DESHAYES: And with that, I made a powder, crushed them. And for one of the recipes that I did a couple days ago, I crust a flank steak for barbecue.

To what purpose, exactly?

The left sure is pushing the bug based diet crap on us and I guess this sort of thing is the way to do it slowly, to desensitize us to the idea.

Nope.

And I think I can safely say *Never* in this case.
