I went for dinner with friends at an excellent restaurant. We ordered this salad appetizer and were surprised at how delicious it was. If you take a closer look at the white beans accompanying the salad you may notice that they are not beans.
Those are ant eggs but closer inspection will show that it’s a mixture of eggs and ant larvae. Quite delicious I must say, eating insects have been proposed as a way to reduce carbon footprint!
Did you know that a person can be allergic to insect stings from bees, wasps and also fire ants ? Yes fire ants can sting and their venom can cause anaphylaxis. Thankfully this can be treated through immunotherapy.
