I forgot about hormigas culonas the Colombian fat bottomed ant. They are a great beer snack and now come in BBQ and lemon flavours. I haven't had them for years but quite enjoyed them, crunchy and anty at the same time.

Here we go, available in the deli next to the queso paipa



I just realized- you actually liked the fat a@s ants? I could barely swallow them. I offered a dog in our hostel some and he wouldn't come within a couple of feet to even smell them!
