Depends on the ant. The lemony ones are OK. With some of the others, I just don't see the point.

Caterpillars, however...don't even touch them. DISGUSTING! I really should have had more money riding on that bet.

I ate a red ant during some survival training. It tasted sweet.

Those australian honey ants are super tasty. The US common black odorous ants are not so much. I'll eat them if you don't want them.

I was watching part of a show on tv the other day where the locals ate big spiders, tarantualas I think. They had a huge plate of fried giant spiders and were eating them like Ding Dongs :Q

we have something like this at purdue university. it is called Bug Bowl and you have the chance to try many different insects. It is a proven fact that they won't hurt you and are actually high in protein. crickets, ants...etc.

When I was in China a few years back with family, they sprinkled the ants in the rice. I didn't taste the ants but I ate them up.

Chinese, African, or other?

I didn't know Chinese ate spiders. Then again, up until yesterday I didn't know Chinese ate ants either.

I can't read much of the back of the package, but it seems like they're promoting it as some sort of health "food".

heheh "these ants were humanely killed with organic poison"
