and then the highlight of my weekend was this little guy–er, girl…after the rains here, large female ants called tanajura set out in flight to begin a new nest. unfortunately, Brasilian children come out in droves with dishtowels, swapping them out of the air and then eating them. i was lucky enough to get it fried, although some like it raw. i also chose to have it headless and legless…
and after all this time of saying i was gonna eat one…i couldn’t get out of it any longer and i chewed and swallowed.
it wasn’t that bad. crunchy and empty–sorta like pork rinds.
