In Mexico, chapulines are a bit of an exotic delicacy from old Aztec cuisine, there's a place in my town that has them, heated and tossed on a grill with no oil, then served on a corn tortilla with black beans, fresh chopped onions and cilantro, topped with a lime squeeze and green jalapeño salsa.
They are delicious.
Oh god that sounds disgusting! How can you eat that? I don't think I could even get to the point of swallowing, let alone chewing it up. I feel a little nauseous just thinking about it. Cilantro?!
You’re sounding awfully judgemental for a mutant!
It always makes me so disappointed. I have tried cilantro probably a hundred times now always thinking yeah, it makes things better for others it has to taste fine this time. So I use it when I make tacos or anything if someone else is eating with me. Yet every time, still tastes like fucking soap. Lol. I really want it to not... Not sure why.
Genetics.
Same reason some people can’t smell aspara-piss.
Id ask if we could trade genetics, but your father may or may not be Satan and I'm not sure what that entails. Fuck it, I'm down
I think it’s understandable that you want something to taste nice, especially if others seem to enjoy it and you feel like you’re missing out.
If you want to know ‘why’ it tastes like soap it is literally genetics. You have a mutation to your taste buds!
I also have a fun one, I can taste Geosmin and 2-Methylisoborneol, which most people can’t. I can taste it in quantities as low as 10 parts per trillion.
It is a shitty superpower because it makes water that is perfectly clean and safe to drink taste like mud.
So uh... If I didn't know what those were before you mentioned them is that a bad thing?
Nope, I only know because my cities water supply was switched one day and our tap water went from the being like the finest spring water to a muddy puddle.
I contacted the water supplier and found out Im a mutant… and that you can mostly fix it by boiling the water.
Uh, yeah, exactly. I'm like wat. Chapulines are delicious. At worst they kinda taste like walnuts to me. If people ate them blindfolded in a taco with other ingredients, I don't imagine too strong of a reaction.
Wish there was a place to try this in the US.
If you're ever in Austin, Tx, there's a place called Mexta that serves them as a side. Best ones I've had outside Mexico.
Actually just looked it up and they same some places that serve this in my state. Probably going tonight.
There is! Everything they listed is readily available in your local market, and crickets can be purchased in bulk at pet stores.
I've eaten crickets. Just not this dish. The ones from the pet store taste bad btw.
Pro cricket snack tip: it's the cricket feed. Keep them for about a week and feed them straight fruits and vegetables, like zucchini, apples, lettuce, squash, etc. Basically anything with a fairly neutral flavor. Then pull the food about 24 hours before you eat them, so they'll clear their poop out.They'll taste much better.
My nephews lived in Mexico for a few years and they still miss them.
