True! In my hometown, and in other parts of Mexico, you can see street vendors selling little bags of seasoned crunchy grasshoppers as a snack:
They are actually not bad, crunchy without any gooey stuff and the seasoning they use gives them a strong and very characteristic taste/smell. Toasted grasshoppers are also used as toppings for salads or other dishes to add a crunchy texture (they taste a bit like fried bits of bacon):
mmmmmm salsa Valentina... yeah i think seeing them in full form and imagining the insides is what makes me a little hesitant. I'll try them one of these days. Thank you for the pictures!
