The ant pictured tasted kind of crunchy with a strong peculiar pungent taste, and it didn't taste like anything else I've ever eaten. It wasn't a bad taste, it was just different.

Thanks for working up my appetite! ;) Good pictures of the ant, by the way. I hope those huge ants aren't too common there, because I hate the tiny black ants enough as it is... I think I'd have a heart attack if I saw a trail of <em>those</em> monsters! But what do they taste like? I'd rather hear about it than find out for myself. Yum!

And if someone is looking for a translator, something tells me that after reading these posts, they won't be contacting Luis. @Aaron (Tempe) Yes, I see how it looks like spam, but I try not to be too heavy-handed in moderation.

Also, even in Mexico eating these insects is only common in certain areas. @Aaron Just the Ants or all of them?

I only say this because I also work in the translation and interpreting field and hope to help you. Do you translate to English or from English to Spanish. " so i hope you apologize me." The correct way of saying this would be "I hope that you forgive me" Apologizing is the act of asking for forgiveness by the person who committed the error. *That's my personal definition not Webster's. Luis,
