OH LOOK IT!!!
I emailed my Nunkawa and she sent me this note and the recipe.....

Dear Belle,
I am shocked that you of all people would want this recipe.
Those people with above average levels of allergy to stinging insects should not attempt this at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although the mention of "yellowjacket soup" immediately raises an eyebrow on those
unaccustomed to such a food as we are , it is actually a delicacy and should not be
criticized until tried. Only the bravest should dare to try this dish!!

Ingredients:
Ground-dwelling yellow jackets

Secure an entire nest of ground dwelling yellowjackets when it is full of grubs.
Loosen all the uncovered grubs by heating and removing them.
Heat the nest with the remaining grubs over a fire until the thin, paper-like covering parches.
Pick out the yellowjackets and brown them over the fire.
Cooked the browned yellowjackets in boiling water to make soup and season to taste.

Its been a very long time since I have had this. I would say 40 years.
We love you and Congradulations on finally getting your life back. I am sorry you had to go thru the abuse.
Pokawah was so very upset by it all. I had to stop him from going to your house a few times to defend your honor.
We love you and Shakunkah very much.
Nunkawa Stella

I have NEVER had this, But was my Great Grands Recipe.
I My mamaw said that they would eat this in the Summer months and APPARENTLY it helps with your "sex" lives.
I have no clue about that . I would NEVER try this these days.
But Hey, If you wanna have a GOOD night with someone then , try this!


Yum O!

ill have a wing please :)

I saw this exact same recipe in a book....... Blue Ridge Nature Notes By George Ellison, Elizabeth Ellison


Sounds pretty interesting but i'm just wondering how exactly you get the nest without getting stung.....yellow jackets are extremely agressive arent they?

Something I will have to ask my Aunt. I have never tried it nor eill I ever try it. LMAO

Thanks. But I'll stick with frog legs and opossum stew

Do you like Racoon????
LMAO!

Hahahahaha! Having spent many a fall "at camp" covering my beer/plate/body, I find this funnier than hell!
