Escamoles – Mexico
Escamoles are edible larvae and pupae of ants harvested from the roots of the Agave tequilana or Agave americana plants in Mexico. These are often pan-fried with butter and spices and can be found in tacos or omelettes. They have a poppy texture and slight nutty taste.

#53 Quite delicious! Can be used just like cow meat. I actually have a nice piece of whale meat in the freezer.

To the OP: You really should read into the subjects more. You practically advertise eating shark fin soup, turtle soup or whale meat here. This is absolutely not okay, since people should learn that these and other kinds of animals are critically endangered because of overfishing, overhunting, over-use. You also post with some of the foods that they "are said to have medical properties". This is terrible! You should tell people the truth, which is that no medical properties could ever be proven, and those who believe in it are victims to quackery, causing the extinction of species!

Note to self: Be careful with food in foreign countries.
But mosquito eggs? Nice! Sweet (or however that tastes) revenge for all the blood they took from me!

In Florence-Italy, there're deep fried "crepes" obtained from pork blood called "roventini"; they're coocked with lard and eated with grated Parmigiano Reggiano on top.
Even in Florence there's a typical meal called "lampredotto": it's one of four cow's stomach boiled in water with tomatoes, celeries, carrots and served in a sandwich with green sauce ("extravergine" olive oil, caper and parsley), hot chili pepper or simply with pepper and salt.
In many other place of Italy, pork blood is used to make sweet pies.
Also in Sardinia and Rovigo (city near Venice) the people ate cats
