Suitable bush tucker for a stranded bush walker but not for a table dinner thankyou! Has anybody had a sample?

Tenerals should be collected in the very early hours of the morning, just after they have emerged but before they can climb out reach. The best way to collect is to go outside with a brown paper bag and start scooping them in. Tenerals can be cooked immediately, refrigerated until later (they remain alive but will mature much more slowly in the cold) or frozen until you cook them. Freezing works best for those you will roast since freezing changes the consistency of the meat.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://scienceblogs.com/grrlscientist/2007/05/cicadas_plead_for_love.php">NPR link below for recipe</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://scienceblogs.com/grrlscientist/2007/05/cicadas_plead_for_love.php"><A href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1866011" target="window">National Public Radio</A> (recipes)</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://scienceblogs.com/grrlscientist/2007/05/cicadas_plead_for_love.php"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/scienceblogs.com/img/747CDAEA-4D96-4217-8E39-F940B320461D" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/910F9165-6F12-4EC8-87A3-F19BDD335492/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
