aieromon: Yep,I fried this delicacy in secondary school.
1.During the rainy season,you catch them and put in a bowl of water.
2. Next,you remove the head of the lantern,light it up and increase it to the maximum.
3. Place a little amount of butter on a stainless steel plate and put on the head of the lantern.
4. Drain water from the bowl and pour into the melted butter. Fry for a few minutes and remove.
5. Serve with garri soaked with milk and sugar.

Thank you boarding school!!

I remember those days . . . kai

My dear, this has nothing to do with poverty. In our natural setting, we are all rich and happy as we could be. You are the one that is showing signs of psychological poverty. Try and change your Afrikaman mentality

I hunted and ate alot of them when I was much younger. ESUNSUN is classic. Can't eat it again though.

Rastamann: All na poverty!

Says who? I love it! I can afford ten square meals a day, but I still order for it from my villa (Igbo ). It's a wonderful delicacy. Any Igbo, Edo-Delta, Calabar or Rivers who grew up in these areas that says they don't eat it is pretending.

Btw, it's called winged [reproductive] termite (nwa aku ebe, in my Igbo dialect). The wingless termite (queen and soldiers) is also a delicacy for soup in my place, though I never liked it. There are people that eat grasshopper, caterpillar, millipede (some oyibo eat milipede too; watch TABOO in Nat Geo)...etc. No one knows whether these kinds of food contributed in wading off diseases like cancer, never seen the olden days days but rampant today, probably due to our 'oyibo' eating habit.
