I miss eating this flying termites, gone are those days in the late 90s, we are all hunters in the area (Trenches) when it come to this flying termites called Esunsun or Iba as called by we Yorubas, Igbos call it Aku, this termites is said to be very nutritious, so rich in protein.
My childhood experience is incomplete without talking about hunting of Esunsun, snails and fruits, so funny unforgettable experience.
This insect comes out at night following light, sometimes in the early morning when it's still dark.
Esunsun are actually termites that fly, very proteinous and nutritious. Known as Macrotermes bellicosus scientifically.
I won't say much about the peptides and all other biochemical and microbiological information about this insect.

Very rich in protein
I want some

Better food with original protein

descarado:

It wasn't prepared well.

A little pinch of salt and pepper with small maggi.
Fry till it dries. So so sweet.

It always tastes the same way .........

Aku.......An edible insect.Delicious

Lol! There's a locust invasion unfolding up north. I am expecting to see pictures of those being caught and cooked

Na every locust dey edible or particularly kinds?

I know sey chicken dey chop locusts of all kinds and so anyone that can farm and deliver locusts to poultry farms go make big money.

Mindlog:
I even see a small pack of it whey no even reach the small tin tomato cup in a Nigerian shop in London, going for £4.20.

Highway robbery!

Even though I fit buy chop because e don tay wey I chop am.

JonJozzy:

Yes ooo. In the north, we call it chinge.

At home, we put on the florescent light which attracts the chinge. You then position a big bowl of water below the light to trap them
Next day in School, women prepare and bring it to school and students buy during break.

Isn't Chinge the name for crickets?

Crickets are another set of edibles which could be farmed and sold in our markets.

PointB:
Why fry it with the wings?

Normally you'd remove the wings and press the abdomen out before frying. It's tastes better when crunchy,

Why press it?

BreacherX:
you just caught several dozens of future termite colonies!

Don't make them extinct. #healtheworld

Would you rather we let the termites be left to continue destroying properties and trees instead? You fit farm them sef but man must eat abeg.

I enjoy eating this too

Angelfrost:


What are you talking about please?!?

That's a delicacy that has existed even before colonization!

You guys will just jump into threads making funny and weird comments without simple research. Na wa o!

With a lot of protein, I remember back then... I no dey use am play, Wether fried oo or direct eating

Hehehe .... this mahn.

You really sabi how e dey go.

Kobojunkie:
They may all be insects but they are not all in the same family. I mean what you are insinuating but the above that Honey from bees amounts to same thing as cockroach poo.

You could argue that honey is anterior waste. Roach poo is posterior, thus they cannot be likened to each other. You tell us what the difference between roaches and these things are insect wise ... They all have disgusting buttocks. Wings. Insect legs. Their abdomens are so similar. I don't even know how the things will explode inside your mouths, but it's troubling that they're being eaten with all the crap still inside them. With the wings. Disturbing textures.

Ewwww! How do people cope eating these things? They're just variations of roaches. Disturbing.

What could these things possibly taste like?

Food That Always Eat

Money Is Really Good ooooo

Sweet something.

Harlarbiz01:

VeryWickedGoat:
If you can eat this then you can eat cockroaches.
Stop pretending and go for it. We nor judge you.

Kobojunkie:
Why press it?

Precautionary. In case it contains toxic waste.

to those shouting sapa is a little backwarded human being..nigerians has been eating this for years...

PointB:
Precautionary. In case it contains toxic waste.

LOL... so you press each one and then fry?

Kobojunkie:
LOL... so you press each one and then fry?

Hard work. But yes, in those days, in my neck of the wood, hygiene was highly recommended in that business.
