Giant toasted ants...

[Spoooon]

On a whim, I ordered some toasted ants. They are f-ing huge.

The flavor is described as "nutty bacon like." Not quite. Kind of, but there is a pretty strong dirt flavor to me.

I had some thinkgeek points to spend, saw that the price was reduced on them while I was browsing around, and just decided to get them. I'm glad the spider was sold out.

I would say nasty, but when I went to China last time, my cousin ordered a dish huge cooked cockroaches. These cockroaches were the size of car keys. No, i did not eat them. Sad to say, but I was way to westernized.

I'd have ordered some canned bacon or baconaise or something.

Yes. I'm having a hard time with these. Objectively, there's nothing really wrong with them (aside from not tasting so great). It's just hard to get past the mental aspect.

Grind them up, add them to your ground coffee and brew a nice cup of joe :-D

I had a friend who was from Colombia who would get giant roasted ants like that occasionally.

I thought the taste was fine but the ick factor got to me so I didn't eat many.

I probably would have lost my lunch right there just by seeing that "dish."
