R ants nutritious !

I had coffee a la ant this morning.

We have an ant plaque at present as the rain is scarce so they come inside for water and food. I had ant traps out but their use by date seems to have come and gone.

They climbed into the kettle and by the time I saw them they were well boiled in my cup of coffee with milk.

Now what if I didn't take milk?

I've heard that some insects are quite nutritious; a good source of protein. I suspect ants would be also. Works for ant eaters!
I've also heard of chocolate covered ants sold in some specialty stores.
How did the coffee taste?

It didn't
You think YOU got problems? It didn't work out real well for the ants either, ya know!

I was just thinking if I wasn't such a big nature lover I could cook them and sell them as a delicacy
I eat ants all the time, I prefer the big meatier ants.

Hint, put some neat washing up liquid in their holes, it will stop them.
Do u know how many little heaps there r in the garden.
Quite the delicacy, provided you take them in small portions professor
Abstinence here is good for me
Hi Snookum, in France you get chocolate with ants inside. They say it's very delicate.
I personally don't eat such. Here we have other strange kinds of chocolate with chilies or lavender inside.
Everyone to their delicacy
I was in a restaurant in Vancouver's Chinatown.
The Special Of The Day? Cold jellyfish.

With chocolate covered ants at least ya get chocolate.
I've not tried it, but if the ants were dried up I imagine it'd be like chocolate with crunchy things in it. Like a Nestlè Crunch candy bar.

Cc. Some protein !
Gg. With the sun the way it is nowadays, I don't tan or swim outside much at all. I have a dark skin, than tans very fast, too fast.

I agree on the Snails, my ex used to eat them, way out gross !!!

It's all in the marketing, Snooks. Something like...

'A flavorful and healthful blend of robust Arabica coffee and high protein South African ants.'
