Valentine's Day is coming up and you don't know what to get that special someone? How about a real world Columbian delicacy straight from the Colombian Amazon?
Yes, we're talking about edible giant toasted leafcutter ants! For realz! Mmmmmmm.
They are available over at ThinkGeek for $19.99 (on sale) and here are the specs:
"Time for science. There is a type of leafcutter ant called Atta laevigata. It is a delicacy in many parts of Northern South America, and has been since pre-Columbian (and that is pre-Christopher Columbus, not the country) time. These ants - the largest type of leafcutter ant in the world - are thought to be aphrodisiacs, and are therefore quite a common wedding gift. They also make a nice snack, which is why we bring you Giant Toasted Leafcutter Ants.
Giant Toasted Leafcutter Ants hold two secrets. One, they are very high in protein and low in saturated fat. Two, they have a very unique taste. And C, they are commonly called (by those in the know): "hormigas culonas." That roughly translates into "big ass ants" - so named for the size of their abdomen, but also appropriate for today's slang. Giant Toasted Leafcutter Ants - get 'em now, while the gettin' is good".
