kumbe kumbe

It's "kumbe kumbe" season in Kenya.  The time that flying termites emerge from their underground homes.  

How does a termite become a snack? After being caught, a kumbe kumbe can be enjoyed a couple of ways: some prefer eating them fresh and alive on occasion but most prefer cooking them up in a skillet with some salt and hot cooking oil. At this point they can eaten hot or set aside to cool until they are dry and crisp, crunchy and salty, a bit like a french fry.  http://lessigsinafrica.wordpress.com/

Unfortunately, I'm going to miss this treat by a few weeks, but there's always next year...
