Exotic Foods - Entomophagy - Chapulines - in Mexico City....

Eating insects are very common in the most parts around the world.

Chapulines (grasshoppers)are hatching in early May until late summer in the region of Oaxaca.  Toasted on a clay cooking surface with garlic, lime juice and salt -  it is a great snack with cold beer. 

I mix them with roasted garlic, peanuts and some guacamole in a corn tortilla.
