Ants are used as an ingredient in the US and Europe
What do you people use ants in?
Aussie Bush tucker uses them for tea (Green ants) They have a citrus flavour
Painful little shits, accidentally walked through their nestsin the bush growing up in Darwin. Felt good to bite them their bums off for some revenge
I know right, worse when the first person walking stirs them up…
for spiders you get your mate to walk in front… For ants you get them to walk second 😅
Kind of arbitrarily stupid lol.
Only 10 insect species are approved as food ingredients in South Korea, including grasshoppers, mealworms and silkworm pupae.
Other places allow ants as an ingredient, just not South Korea, while they allow other insects to be used as food.
tests that found heavy metals above permitted levels in the ants.
That seems like the bigger issue tbh
That changes the story in a remarkable way.
Fuck clickbait journalism
Is “ant farmer for Michelin star restaurants” a job that is hiring? It seems like it might actually be pretty fun?
They estimated the dessert was served to 12,274 customers, using 49,096 ants, for total revenue of about 120m won.
When I worked in a restaurant, we had a snail guy
The hard part of being an ant farmer is getting the tiny lasso around them when it’s herdin’ season.
That’s not as difficult as harvesting moth balls. It’s so hard to get their tiny legs apart!
So you only get 4 ants with your dessert? What a fucking ripoff
I’ve done a hatred meal that had two dishes with ants.
One was a lamington that had some sort of black ants.
Another dish was a dessert with green ants. They tasted like fizzy lime, and there were heaps of them on both dishes.
I’ve also seen a green ant gin here for sale also.
Tf is a “hatred meal”?
Sorry, was meant to be “hatted”
Ohh Green ants taste great,
The gin not so much. It’s very bad and just a gimmick
The most direct way to antagonize food inspectors.
Nice
