Re: eating ants
 
Eating ants has been well known for a long time. Sometimes they are
encased in chocolate. Eating them directly is known in various
animals, not just birds and eat-anters, but also in primates.
Chimpanzees do it. Oecophylla are bush food in Australia. One
nips of the abdomen with one's front teeth and chews it up.
It has a fine, lemony flavour. I tried them in Queensland and
found them to be quite thirst-quenching and tastey.
