Ever eaten ants?!


Question: Have you ever eaten ants, like cooked ants and ant eggs? I remember when I was little in this town in Ilocos, Philippines there was this ant dish, I can't remember what it's called or anything... so just thought someone might know... if not then it's ok...

Have you ever eaten ants though, what do you think of them?

Yes, both ants and ant eggs that's delicacy. They sell it in most oriental groceries. expensive. I love it, put a bunch of spices, wrap it up in banana leave and put in on top of hot grill YUMMY

CRUNCHY
I THINK THE DISH IS CALLED ANTMANIA
I MIGHT BE WRONG

nope! lol that really doesn't sound too apetizing to me lol

Never ants only worms when I am upset and depressed.

Never, and I don't plan to either.

Yes i did when i was very little.I think most children do that.Because I wasn't alone when i was doing it.

Yes. Colombia is famous for them. They surface once a year and are red ants a little bigger than our black one. They are baked and are a treat in season. Salty and good.

Yeah tasty! j/k

Yes. I think they were from Mexico but I'm not sure. It was a candy and I guess the ants ate some kind of sweet honey substance until their bodies swelled with it and then they'd take the head and legs off. I thought they were good.

I've never had the dish you are talking about.

Chocolate covered ants are an internationally famous delicacy.

Chocolate coverd are especially good.

When you do field training in the military, you're taught to eat ants. I hear they're lemony.

Yes, in Colombia. They're called "hormigas culonas". That's "fat assed ants".
I once had a small, big-assed Colombian girlfriend. She liked me to call her "mi hormiguita culona".
Just an anecdote, though.
I understand they're being sold in Parisian restaurants for the price of caviar.

yes, they were chocolate covered. wasn't too bad

Yes in Mexico. They are a delicacy.
Ants eggs were fried and good. Honey ants were served raw. You are supposed to suck the honey out of the ants and not eating them. I was told that they are not dead and will make more honey material. Not appealing too me to do it. I did it as a respect to my host. I enjoyed the ants eggs though.
