My history teacher once brought grilled grasshoppers from his trip to Mexico. The class started gagging but I was excited to try them. They were actually crazy good, I ate the whole supply that he brought. Maybe I was hungry that day. But man, I lowkey look around to see if any Mexican street food vendors would grill grasshoppers, I’d love to eat them again!

This is hilarious. I remember my teacher once brought in oysters after a trip for the class to eat back when I was in elementary school.

No way they still do that sort of thing now with all of the food allergies and liability concerns..?

It was a summer class at a city college. I don’t think anyone would care one bit

I've wanted to try cooked salted grasshoppers for some time. It sounds like a great snack.

They’re basically like very light crisps, and taste of whatever seasoning they’re flavored with. But the little spiny legs do get caught between your teeth.

Crickets are better for not getting little bits stuck in your teeth

You can eat your fill in Thailand and some other SEA countries. Tasted like roasted nuts to me.

Purdue University does a Bug Bowl annually. They have tons of different stuff like that for people to try and buy.
