Red Ant Eggs & Other Delicacies

Speaking of red ants got me thinking about the giant red ants that build their nests in trees & plants. The Thai like to collect the eggs and eat them. Kennedy has tried them, I haven't yet. I may have a chance, though, soon, because we've got a nest of them in our yard and our friends can't wait to eat them.
Sometimes we sit around and talk about all the crazy things they eat. The folks in the South here won't eat the same things our Eastern friends eat. Our Eastern friends joke they will eat about anything. We tried to think of all the things they like to eat:
grubs (Jasper has eaten fried grubs.)
beetles (Kennedy and I have eaten fried beetles.)
crickets
grasshoppers
squirrels
snakes
dog
lizards
shrimp eggs (We've all eaten these)
ant eggs (Only Kennedy has tried these.)
fish eyes & brains
intestines (These can be kind of tasty cooked right!)
frogs (We could only eat the curry they were in.)
snails
flying termites (I think I could eat these fried, kind of smells like pine nuts.)
scorpions

This list is definitely NOT exhaustive, and some Thais won't touch certain things, especially Bangkokians. It depends on the region, really, but the Easterners are famous for eating everything.
We told our dear Thai partners to leave our lizards alone, we like them running around alive!
(They had eaten all the ones around their house.)
Food is a favorite topic for all of us. Thai food is really yummy, most of the time!
