I agree sounds adventuresome.
I disagree in that I would try it, legs or not!

Sounds great, Kathleen! I wish they were in this area, but alas, we are not in the area of the 17 year - just some others, that show up sporadically, and not in huge numbers.
Wow Kathleen! Sounds adventuresome. Good idea taking off the legs. The only time I ate an insect, it was a chocolate covered ant. It was not an improvement on the chocolate. The thing I most remember is that I hated getting the little legs (and antennae?) stuck in my teeth. I would definitely want to try this, minus legs and antennae.

One time, just one time, as a child, I was talked into eating an earthworm. I had aa half pint carton of milk that I'd just finished drinking. I took the worm, placed it into the empty carton, and lit it on fire. The worm was roasted n the heat. I popped it into my mouth and chewed it up, and actually swallowed it. I
To this day, it is singularly, the most disgusting flavor I have ever tasted. It explains why the term bird-brain is an insult. Birds love the worms. Don't try this at home kids.

A new thread could be started with -
Never will I EVER eat this disgusting thing again.
you know? Kathleen, I just might try to dip a toe in,
especially dressed up as a taco.
I've remembered my mom telling me she had chocolate cover grasshoppers in Africa once. Said they just tasted like chocolate covered crunchy. Nothing spectacular.
I couldn't tell you all those weird things I ate, while in college! It wasn't really for the flavor...
I saw something earlier on the news that cracked me up! It seems that many people, in those cicada infested areas, are calling 911 about the noise, and they are asking them to stop this. What do these idiots think they will be able to do about them, when they call 911???
locust, grasshoppers, ants, cicada swarms, capture, freeze, and store for hard times.
But seriously, that might not be a bad idea. They are full of proteins. Don't think I'll be doing this though. But then again, they would be great, used for fish bait.

OR MAYBE I will make them for my weekend visitors!!!!
I tried one package of scone mix, and made a couple from my "Simply Scones " cookbook. They all were dry to our tastes. Now I make them from the same cookbook, but I add more liquid than called for. Much better results.
I also think that my Nordic Ware cast aluminum scone pan helps. The outside of each scone is nicely crisp, but the inside is soft and moist. Perfect every time.
I don´t know what recipe you used, but they do not look at all like scones, I´m afraid.Never have I ever made ...
Scones
My Mother was over the Moon!
DH & I, meh, not so much really.
Seemed like dry American Drop Biscuits to me.
It made a bunch, so I'm taking some next door to share.
I don´t know what recipe you used, but they do not look at all like scones, I´m afraid.
Firstly, they look sort of grey; and secondly, no self-respecting Brit would ever serve scones with sauce on top.
Scones are very similar to (US) biscuits - the difference is the use of buttermilk and less sugar.
Scones are basically flour, butter, milk, egg and baking powder. Here are the ones I made a few weeks ago:

If you´d like the recipe, I´m only too happy to post it.
Scones are usually served warm, with butter, jam (jelly) and cream. There are savoury scones, however - usually with cheese, but sometimes with bacon.
