Eating bugs in Mexico
Clean, nutritious and tasty!
Insects are a common ingredient for food in Hispanic Latin American countries.
Let’s have a look at the Oaxacan (state in southwestern Mexico) menu: guacamole with grasshoppers. Yummy!
I personally recommend everybody to taste the Oaxacan grasshoppers as they taste like real good chips. I really like the taste and I even brought some prepared grasshoppers to the Netherlands for my friends after visiting Mexico for the 2nd time.
Want to try? If you are visiting Oaxaca and you would like to order grasshoppers, ask for a dish with ‘chapulines’ which is the Mexican name for these jumping bugs.

Ever since I left my home country I felt at home at any other place I went to. I enjoy getting to know more cultures by talking to strangers and hearing their philosophy about life. Speaking with gestures when you can not find a shared language, finding places only the locals go to and learn about their customs and values. Hanging out with local people makes me happy. The experience of every new place is a step out of your comfort zone where I like to wander around until it feels like a second home.
