Did you know that agave tequila is not only good for making tequila, but for the making of escamole as well? Escamole is a dish made from ant larvae and pupa. They are harvested from the tequila plant's roots. But be careful, the ants are known to be aggressive (which apparently adds more thrill to the harvest). The larvae are usually pan fried in butter and spices, and served in tacos and omelets. They are light in color, look like corn kernels, and have a nutty taste.
