Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood?
EDIBLE WINGED TERMITE. Whenever it rained, we would get a bucket of water and place outside. These termites would fly everywhere and eventually end up inside the bucket of water.
Then Mum would fry and spice with salt. Then she would boil rice, and make delicious sauce with the winged termites.
I do not eat that again though. But anytime I see them flying around, it instantly transports me back to childhood and I just smile. I told my kids about it and all they could say was, EEWWW, SO DISGUSTING. MUM, YOU ACTUALLY ATE THAT? I said yes and laughed out loud.
