If you’ve run out of lunch or dinner ideas, cicada tacos are back on the menu at Cocina on Market, a Mexican cantina in Leesburg, Virginia.
Chef de Cuisine Tobias Padovano tells WTOP the insect edible returned to the menu earlier this week, after the local health department told him to stop serving them until he received the cicadas from an approved food source.
“We are getting them from Dubai,” in the United Arab Emirates, said Padovano. “There’s a market there that has dried insects, and one of the insects they have is dried cicadas.”
