201 - Eating Ant Hot Sauce With an Entomologist

Today I’m joined by Jace Porter from the Global Entomology Coalition for an interview and a tasting of Ant Sauce, a hot sauce made with real ants. We talk about insects as food, which ant species are commonly eaten, food safety, sustainability, and why eating bugs still feels so strange to most people.

Along the way, we put Ant Sauce to the test on a spoon and on wings, breaking down the flavor, heat level, and what the ants actually add to the experience. Jace brings the science, I bring the wings, and things get interesting fast.

If you’ve ever wondered whether insects belong in hot sauce, or if you’d actually try something like this, this episode answers a lot of those questions.
