Gawd the ant situation down here this year is extreme. Going after everything.
Left a half full savoury shapes pack open and was crawling with them. Accidentally didn't check, had a few.. thought jeez that's a bit bitter.
Anyway thanks to my associate professorship in Myrmecology and Alcohology and it's my day off had 2 shots of gin so they could enjoy their final moments before being liquified by bile. It was the only humane course of action.
Have enough to drink and you can snort them
lol. Snorting ants is an unreported gateway activity.
I can still taste them :(
Formic acid is powerful indeed.
Flavour you can see.
Higher than expected protein content.
Eewww
I just realised that’s meant to be Ozzy haha. I remember liking that show. The one about Pam and Tommy right?
Close. It was a scene from The Dirt (Motley Crue). There was a reference about it in Pam and Tommy though.
