This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I went to a restaurant in Mexico City that served ant larvae sautéed in butter.

It tasted like butter and didn't have a very noteworthy consistency. It was an acceptable food that I'm glad I tried but would probably not go out of my way to buy again.

So glad I came across this. There is a place near me that serves ant larvae soup and I’ve always wanted to try it but it’s super expensive. Now I can sleep at night knowing it’s not worth trying.
