Best answer:
Answer by david c
Chapulines – Grasshoppers. Brave samplers report that these fried critters are nutty and delicious. Available at some Oaxacan restaurants in Los Angeles, chapulines are often sprinkled with dried chiles and lime and served as an appetizer. It’s also worth getting over the freak-out factor to try gusanitos de maguey, maguey worms. The larvae of an insect that lives on the maguey plant, gusanitos are smoked and used as a flavoring in salsas and other dishes. Famously, they also turn up in bottles of tequila and mezcal.
