When I first arrived at my new school in Kenya, I told my students that I was interested in trying different foods.  A few days later, one of my students brought me the queen - the queen termite that is.

      This student's family was building a new house out of wood.  There was a termite mound close by, and, since termites like to eat wood, the family had to demolish the mound.  Deep inside, they found the queen termite, and my student brought her to me - alive.
