Great post Dinahmo.
Whilst on the subject of (ahem) bottoms ... I read this before I’d eaten my breakfast this morning!
“In Columbia — if you want to eat like a king — you’ve gotta eat the queen. With their juicy bottoms, locals in the country’s north-central Santander region have come to relish the behinds of queen ants as a delicacy. During each spring’s mating season, millions of hormigas culonas (which roughly translates to “big-butt ants”) emerge from the ground, providing townsfolk the opportunity to harvest the precious insects in search of culinary bliss.
If one can fend off the thousands of devout soldier ants — which draw blood with a single bite — on their way to the queen, they are rewarded with a delicious snack. The queen’s plump butt can be roasted and salted, creating a crunchy treat that resembles extra savory popcorn. Columbian foodies swear by the crunchy ants, which are served on street corners and 5-star restaurants alike.”
