    Termites, usually come out after the rain in their millions .
    Gather a few dozzen
    take wings off
    Heat pan with a nob of butter
    Add termites and fry till slightly crispy.
    Tastes a little like Peanut butter.
    Wash down with a slightly chilled Sauvignon Blanc.


    Did not eat this..African Rock Python.
