I recently watched a couple of episodes of Man vs. Wild and thought how cool this guy was. I was also surprised at how many survival techniques he was incorporating that I had already known. I did learn a lot. One thing I admired about him was his ability to eat almost anything in the wild. With that said I was sitting tonight on the lanai (Porch in Hawaiian) of the church listening to the preacher when I noticed that some ants had gathered around my soda can that I was sipping on during church. I thought to myself. I wonder what these ants taste like. So I tasted them. The first couple of times I just swallowed them like a pill but by the sixth one I decided to roll one around and try to taste it. Not to bad, actually a little sour. So, some of you think I’m weird. Whatever. At least I know that I can survive on ants. Kara was sitting next to me and thought it was kind of gross until I offered her one. She accepted. She had two in total but at least she can say that she had ants before.
I did an internet search wondering if what I did might make me sick. I came up with the following results. Some of them were pretty funny so I thought I would share.
Have any of you ever eaten ants? And if you have will you try?
