Sweet, Tough Caucasian Ants

The fresh produce in Azerbaijan is delicious. It’s mostly locally grown, is completely organic and has the most amazing strength-giving powers. I’ll give you an example.

We bought a jar of gorgeous local honey a while back – best I’ve ever tasted - and there was an ant in it. The ant was deep down in the honey, and it was pretty thick honey too. That ant had been there, stuck in the honey, a long time; and I’d been very careful each morning after eating my porridge to replace the lid tightly on the jar. But one morning, a few months later, I kid you not, but when I’d finished rinsing out my bowl and went to replace the lid, that tough little Caucasian ant had gone.
