People are now eating cicadas found in their backyard - and you can too

The weirdest thing I ever tasted was squeezed milk out of a cow's teat....ick! But I do eat butter and cheese 🤭
I really can't think of anything weird I've ever eaten.
 
I just added some Kale to my Caesar Salad last night but only because I know how good it is for us.
It's amazing stuff. But yes, it's bitter. I made sure to pour the Caesar dressing directly on the kale first 😉
 
Maybe this will help you kale eaters:
Below are a few ways to get the bitterness out of kale:

  • Massage kale by rubbing it with your hands until it looks a little wilted and darker. This quick process helps release the bitterness. Kale can be massaged with salad dressing for 10+ minutes. Massaged kale salads stay well overnight in the refrigerator, and there will likely be no hint of bitterness but all the same nutrients.
  • Kale leaves can also be massaged with a little olive oil. Adding salt and squeezing lemon make a big difference by removing bitterness.
  • Adding some spicy or sweet flavors may help tame the strong flavor of bitter kale. For example, tossing in some dried fruit helps balance the bitter with some sweet. If you eat meat, you can try adding in some sausage or bacon, perhaps to a soup or stew, to cut the bitterness. Minced garlic, olive oil, and salt are also simple ingredients that can transform the flavor of a bitter kale dish.
  • Cutting the stem of kale and marinating it with olive oil and salt can help reduce bitterness. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 24 hours for better tenderness and less bitterness.
  • Boiled kale is quite delicious. It is just a matter of adding some seasoning to it such as salt, pepper, and some flavorful common medicinal herbs such as parsley, oregano, or garlic.
 
I will not go to that much trouble for kale. I love my salad and cannot wait for home grown tomatoes to enjoy with or without the salad. And don't get me started on fried green tomatoes. Love them so much.
 
You gotta be kidding. I'll be the last person on this miserable planet before I eat bugs. I thought only Americans in New York on drugs or starving Africans did that. Me, I go to Superstore, Sobey's, Safeway and sometimes WalMart. I don't buy them bugs; not this country boy!
