Chapulines and Other Crunchies

By Meridith Ford | Monday, January 7, 2008, 01:26 PM

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

The folks at Tierra let me know that last week they were serving some chapulines — you know, grasshoppers? These crunchy little treats are considered quite a delicacy in Oaxaca, Mexico. They’re washed before seasoning, then usually toasted. Crunchy and savory, they’re actually quite good.

Are there any Atlanta Anthony Bourdains out there? Have you eaten chapulines in Atlanta? Where? What other “strange” foods have you tried?
