About this poster: A friend accompanied me to a market and he was struck by the big baskets of grasshoppers (chapulines). He bent down to smell the mound of dead insects at which point he was struck in the face by the vendor. "Son para comer, no oler," she said ... and she was right. My friend hadn't made sufficient contact and could well have sneezed on the whole enterprise. Surprised and educated, I decided I'd make this sign to warn market visitors about proper grasshopper protocol.

Oaxacans eat a lot of insects. Among the favorite bugs are the [|grasshoppers (chapulines)] consumed (legs intact) as a snack garnished with wedges of lime. Best places to sample grasshoppers are featured in our guide to [|Chapuline Hunting].

For those who wish to sample this local specialty, there are plenty of options. Fresh batches of the bug are for sale at markets, including [|Benito Juárez] and [|Abastos]. One of Ron's favorite vendors is Doña Petronila who sells grasshoppers from Santa Maria el Tule at the Friday/Saturday Pochimilco Market ([|look for the sign!]). Dining options include the Sopa de Chapulines at Los Danzantes, chiles rellenos (stuffed with grasshoppers) at María Bonita and the traditional chapulines, guacamole and tortillas at Del Jardin on the [|Zócalo]. The restaurant at the Monte Albán museum boasts a special dish called 'Nido de Grillas' (the grasshopper's nest). Tip - In the market, don't smell the grasshoppers. They are for eating, not smelling. No huela los chapulines, son para comer.

SI quieres regresar a Oaxaca come chapulines....
