Polar's smoked brislings on wheat toast with queso fresco spread, avocado, and roasted crickets seasoned with lime salt. The chapulines give it a nice crunch and are very zingy with the lime salt.

I bet there are fewer than a dozen folks in this sub who have eaten or are willing to eat chapulines – but I LOVE THEM!
A local Oxacan restaurant makes a tostada con chapulines that will feed 2 people and several other dishes with chapulines. They serve the grasshoppers with a creamy black salsa made with black ants that is super yum!
Chapulines would also be great with chipotle sauces sardines

I have been wanting to try chapulines for a loooong time. Honestly they look good, I found some recipes online that made my mouth water.
Is there a brand you’d recommend?

For when you want everyone else at the office to stop bothering you while you’re eating.

I saw a can of Korean Silk Worm Pupae the other day and my girlfriend forbade me from buying it

It’s a no for me (I’m too scared to kill cockroaches)

Thanks.

I gotta be honest. The problem with bugs for me isn’t the flavour or even the concept. It’s them god damn legs that stick in your throat like fish bones

I think this is telling of the demographic of this sub that most people’s immediate reaction is “ew, gross” but I find the flavor similar to peanuts
that is to say, I’d probably fuck this plate up
myshkiny
yum. I would drizzle some salsa macha on that.

Very interesting toast topping that I haven’t seen before.

I would definitely try them, and I can see why they’d be a staple in some parts of the world, but I feel like you’d have to eat a lot of them to get any nutritional value. I would see them more as a condiment, like anchovies.
I’m jealous!!! I tried roasted crickets years ago and I’ve been wanting to have more ever since. But unsurprisingly you cant really find such a thing here…

I would like to try chapulines if I get the chance

Close enough to mini crustaceans to at least give them a try

[Gran Mitla sales sal de gusano (worm) and chapuliń (grasshopper)](https://granmitla.us/collections/all). I like it.
