After the high quality chocolate flavour dissipated, the ants had an almost spicy taste. However, I found they left unpleasant bits of exo-skeleton much like popcorn skins stuck in my teeth. But hey, they're ants! As for the worms, this is a traditional snack, so they are unadorned. I think they could have been more palatable with some kind of seasoning, but right out of the bag they lack flavour and had a kind of pet food smell and dry texture. I'm planning on using the balance of the bag of worms in a stew of some kind since this is the other recommended way to eat them. Not sure what we're waiting for with the scorpion vodka and sucker. Maybe a dare? Okay, we’ve kicked off a tasting starting with the chocolate covered ants. After the high quality chocolate flavour dissipated, the ants had an almost spicy taste.
