And they’re crunchy! The downside is the prickliness. I’m not joking, they actually taste like these trusted fish and chip condiments. It kinda seems like there’s bits of other insects in there too – and twigs.Īnts taste salty and have a surprisingly strong lemon flavour. STEP 3: Try not to look at the ants as you lift the bread to your mouth because you’ll probably freak out. Which seems like a massacre on bread, but hey – I’m saving the world here. I would estimate about 100 ants per slice. STEP 2: Evenly pour ants on top of the buttered bread. The perfect Halloween snack if I actually gave a shit about Halloween. Scary fairy bread – with ants for sprinkles. Instead of googling recipes – which may mask the taste of the ant – I reverted back to my five-year-old self and decided to make fairy bread with them. Then I realised I had no idea how to cook them or what to do with them in general. Obviously, I’m not a scientist however, I do have an interest in any kind of new food! So that’s why I bought the dehydrated ants. Farming insects may be a better option for the future of our planet. Current farming practices use a whole heap of water and land while also emitting a hefty amount of greenhouse gas emissions. As the population increases there will be demand for more protein. They’re full of protein and nutrients which means many scientists see them as a legitimate protein source for humans. Insects are apparently the food of the future. Before you know it I’ll be knocking back cockroaches like a Who Dares Wins contestant in the ‘90s, except I’ll actually be paying for the cockroaches – not being paid to eat them. You can buy a whole heap of different insects off Edible Bug Shop, but I went with ants because they seem like the smallest possible insect you can eat. I was worried that the postie might think I ordered drugs off Silk Road by the shape of the vial, but don’t worry dude – it’s just insects with the moisture sucked out of them. They arrived in my letterbox on Wednesday. I bought a one gram vial of dehydrated ants off the internet.
