Jerry,
 

It is most amazing what folks eat around the world!  Watching some  travel 
program the other evening and they shook some ants out of a tree into a  
bucket of water and then drank the water which supposedly tasted like  
lemonade!  Not cooked or anything, just swirl the ants around in the  water.  So, it 
had to be the secretion of some kind from the ants  flavoring the water.  
Maybe the swirling water scares the s***t out of  them!
