    I went to a restaurant in Mexico City that served ant larvae sautéed in butter.

    It tasted like butter and didn’t have a very noteworthy consistency. It was an acceptable food that I’m glad I tried but would probably not go out of my way to buy again.

      So glad I came across this. There is a place near me that serves ant larvae soup and I’ve always wanted to try it but it’s super expensive. Now I can sleep at night knowing it’s not worth trying.

    This is one of those articles where the timing makes all the difference. Right now, it’s a neat idea.

    In about 20 years when most of the climate is failing and whole swathes of each continent are barren hills with dead trees and shrubby grass, this article will sound like a food guide for the optimistic. Good luck out there!

    One of the best hot sauces I have eaten is from Venezuela and made from ants. A particular ant there has some good deep heat to it that is just delicious.
