Grasshopper Quesadilla is a Unique and Crunchy Experience

[Renew Deal]

I’m never scared about eating from a food cart. We’ve touted their cleanliness and deliciousness for years, but when I found out that El Rey del Sabor would be serving actual grasshoppers (chapulines) from their three carts this week, I knew I would have to face my first insect lunch. And my heart slowly made its way to my throat.

They were very crunchy, reminiscent of eating the exterior of a soft shell crab or tiny shrimp – except here there was no actual flesh or meaty texture – it was all crunch. That didn’t bother me too much. The flavor was quite unique and hard to pinpoint. There was something a little smoky and salty about the bugs with a strong nutty flavor, kind of like spicy harder irregular popcorn. Does that make any sense?

I didn't know at the time what I was eating. I thought they were nuts.
