Ants
In article , david@abacus-
nurseries.co.uk says... This may give you something to think about CHOCOLATE COVERED GIANT ANTS Hand toasted Giant Queen Leafcutter Ants coated in the finest Belgian Chocolate. Every spring when the rains come in Colombia the Guane Indians collect the new Queens when they are emerging from their underground nests, only one Queen Ant is needed in a colony so the new Queens have to leave. The Indians have been collecting these ants every spring when they fly from their nests to toast in a clay pot over an open fire for centuries, and they are considered a rare delicacy. The ants are also nutritious and tasty and are said to be good for boosting your immune system, because they are rich in formic acid. They can also give you a mini energy boost. We ate ants in Australia, years ago. It was an outback dinner featuring "local foods" and included a salad dressing of sugar ants. They were rather lemony and sharp, quite pleasant; and since we were eating outside by candlelight after dark , eye-appeal was not an issue. (The ants were not as yes-please-more delicious as the smoked crocodile). Janet |
