I Ate a Termite Queen!

Believe it! Here's proof!

Step 1: Destroy the termite mound!

Step 2: Find the queen in that mess. She's hidden in a clump of dirt packed VERY hard... so hard that even the Africans have to use an ax to break it!

Step 3: Break the dirt clump, get the Queen. Some termite mounds have multiple queens!

Step 4: Get a good look at your feast. What a nice abdomen, huh?

Step 5: Wrap her up in a nice green leaf.

Step 6: Roast her over a fire or directly in a fire by some embers, whichever you have easier access to at the time. Let her roast for about 10-15 minutes.

Step 7: Take a bite while she's still hot! During this step, it's nice to hold a good friend's hand for support. Suzie and I thankfully had each other.

All in all, it actually wasn't bad. The texture is like warm string cheese, and the flavor is kind of nutty. The worst part is mental!

THE END!
