2. Crunchy Cicadas – USA
One of the most outlandish pizza toppings on this list are the off-putting winged insect called “Cicadas”. Down in Missouri you can hear the Cicadas chirping on the trees in the summertime… but at night? You can hear them crunching in the mouths of families gathered for dinner!
There is a slight crunch involved, but it mostly adds a smooth nutty flavor into the mix. Aficionados claim the most tender Cicadas can be found emerging from the roots of trees in the morning hours when they’re still soggy white or pus yellow. People use it as a salad topping, in tacos, and of course – On pizza!
Keep it organic and take care not to collect Cicadas from orchards, farms, or any other place where pesticides were likely used!
