Oh yeah...that should make a GREAT breakfast. Yep....sounds perfect!
Uhhhhh, I don't feel so good now. I can't believe I ate the whoooole thing.
Just kidding. I'm still thinking about the western omelet for lunch though.
How about just breakfast. Good stuff does go with bacon. Or maybe a good fire ant omelet?
Oh, I'd bet a bacon cheeseburger they'd take right good care of those carpenter ants for ya
I saw very few other types of ants when fire ants were around. You might be onto something.
No, it's just a natural course of a thread like this where we're discussing a topic where people would really rather talk about breakfast. It's related to the reason that all INGO polls need a bacon option.
Ants are edible -- though not all ants are friendly. Some, like fire ants, can bite. If a lot of them get on you those bites can be painful. When it comes to ants, you just need a way to safely scoop them into a container (which means typically digging into an ant hill) and then a way to shake them free of any soil that is also scooped up. When you've figured out a way to separate them from the soil, boil them in a shallow pan. Boiling removes a vinegar taste they have when eaten raw. In an emergency situation who cares about taste however? Ants can be a quick source of food if you're running through the woods and don't have time to put a fire together and boil up a batch.
