Insects are typically unwelcome visitors to a picnic, but they could be a flavorful, nutritious and sustainable addition to the menu. Eating insects is common in some parts of the world, and some species are even considered delicacies.

    They make a gin in Australia using green ants as a botanical; the ants, some of which are in the bottle, give it an acidic, almost citrus flavour.

      Yes!

      Fizzy lime sorbet flavored ants. Sounds mental but tastes delicious.

        Might even say that the first comment upped the ante.

      There are restaurants that sell green ant ice cream as well, I’m told it’s quite nice.
