In Mexico, chapulines are a bit of an exotic delicacy from old Aztec cuisine, there’s a place in my town that has them, heated and tossed on a grill with no oil, then served on a corn tortilla with black beans, fresh chopped onions and cilantro, topped with a lime squeeze and green jalapeño salsa.
They are delicious.
Oh god that sounds disgusting! How can you eat that? I don’t think I could even get to the point of swallowing, let alone chewing it up. I feel a little nauseous just thinking about it. Cilantro?!
It always makes me so disappointed. I have tried cilantro probably a hundred times now always thinking yeah, it makes things better for others it has to taste fine this time. So I use it when I make tacos or anything if someone else is eating with me. Yet every time, still tastes like fucking soap. Lol. I really want it to not… Not sure why.
Pro cricket snack tip: it’s the cricket feed. Keep them for about a week and feed them straight fruits and vegetables, like zucchini, apples, lettuce, squash, etc. Basically anything with a fairly neutral flavor. Then pull the food about 24 hours before you eat them, so they’ll clear their poop out.They’ll taste much better.
Uh, yeah, exactly. I’m like wat. Chapulines are delicious. At worst they kinda taste like walnuts to me. If people ate them blindfolded in a taco with other ingredients, I don’t imagine too strong of a reaction.

Genetics.
Same reason some people can’t smell aspara-piss.
Id ask if we could trade genetics, but your father may or may not be Satan and I’m not sure what that entails. Fuck it, I’m down

So uh… If I didn’t know what those were before you mentioned them is that a bad thing?

Wish there was a place to try this in the US.
There is! Everything they listed is readily available in your local market, and crickets can be purchased in bulk at pet stores.
I’ve eaten crickets. Just not this dish. The ones from the pet store taste bad btw.

If you’re ever in Austin, Tx, there’s a place called Mexta that serves them as a side. Best ones I’ve had outside Mexico.
Actually just looked it up and they same some places that serve this in my state. Probably going tonight.
My nephews lived in Mexico for a few years and they still miss them.
