Hours after sanctions on Iran were lifted as a result of Barack Obama's nuclear deal, the president and his wife Michelle enjoyed a Saturday night out at a Mexican restaurant where they celebrated the first lady's 52nd birthday.

On the menu: grasshopper tacos for $5.

The Washington, DC restaurant Oyamel Cocina Mexicana is a low-key choice for dinner by presidential standards. The most expensive item on the dinner menu is the roasted lamb chop for $18.50.

Oyamel has a three-and-a-half star rating on Yelp.....

There's been some fringe science saying that, due to scarcity, we'd have to eat bugs in the future, for protein. Honestly, bugs aren't bad. I've eaten them in survival school, camping with folks cause I was trying to be tough, with some other folks to try to be cool, and because they were available and sort or a local thing.

Here's the deal...grasshopper legs will get caught In your teeth. Cheese flavors makes it worse. Grasshoppers smoked with salt and lime are actually pretty good...like if if could have them over potato chips, I would cause they taste better and if cooked are better for you. I don't want to eat live bugs, grubs, or whatever. Some can have parasites, but anything moving is weird. If they are cooked, they aren't bad tasting at all. Except some ants. Some ants are bad, because they have some acid or something in their body. Other ants go great with chocolate.

A friend of mine, Junior Associate Under Vice-Consul Jaime Retief, sent me a gross of deep-fried barbecue Groaci Hoob Melon Gribble-Grubs. Quite tasty!

How about some roaches. That would be more reflective.

[MinorityRepublican]

I’ll eat them. Needs some tabasco though.

Reptilians love grasshoppers.

If anyone deserves a diet of bugs, it’d be the 0bamas. May I suggest a starting course of dung beetles?

"...grasshopper tacos..."

Any food they put in front of me that started out with more than four legs had better be seafood.

DC restaurants have nothing but the greatest people dining- how could that be weird?

Dog doesn’t look too happy...

Obama brings his own bugs, buzzing his face

and in quiet, personal moments when Himz is in Sgt. Stedenko mode, bugs don’t have a chance.
Academic question; aside from some catastrophe, how does one gather enough grasshoppers for a taco?

[Berlin_Freeper]

They inject the grasshoppers with steroids?

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

help yourself!

[DeoVindiceSicSemperTyrannis]

Then I take it you don't want any of these?

Personally, I wouldn't want to be the one shoving the sticks up the centipedes' and spiders' butts.....

Oh gawd I think I’m going to barf.
