The strangest thing I have ever eaten

The strangest thing I have ever eaten may be the ant. Several years ago when I travel to some place in China, one of my father's friends invited us to a local restaurant which is famous there. After several dishes, there came a strange dish. There were a lot of samll black things on the plate, I was curious about those, so I asked the waiter. To my surprise, he said those are fried ants. I refused to eat them, but the uncle said that you must eat the food since you were here, otherwise, you could not say that you have ever been here. I have no choice but to have a try. It smelled very normal, just liked normal fried food, I picked several ants up and put them into my mouth. Actually, it tasted good, but since I remembered that it was ant, I did not feel good. I could not convince mtself to try it again even though it is eally very delicious.
