This video was recorded in May 2023.
Today I'm taking you on a culinary journey of discovery. I am in the region (departamento) of Santander in Colombia.
Here the big-assed ants (Spanish: hormigas culonas) are a popular delicacy.
If certain parameters are given (certain temperature in May, previous rain shower, etc.), then the winged queen ants leave the anthill in order to reproduce.
Unfortunately, not every queen ant is able to create a new colony of ants, as they cannot escape the hungry mouths of the Santanderianos.
In the video you will see the tradition of “ant harvesting” and how it is prepared in the pan.
Have fun and enjoy your meal!
