MO amd BO are making sure we will just love eating insects.

"...away from the dinner table, I was introduced to dog meat (tough), snake meat (tougher), and roasted grasshopper (crunchy)," the president wrote.

they are actually not bad

I've had them too and liked them. They had some kind of garlic sauce on them that probably would have made anything palatable. Hey, they're just mini lobsters.

I had Mexican food for dinner too. Homemade enchiladas......with ground beef. I bet mine was better.

[hinckley buzzard]

Some sort of weird leftwing sustainability whorehouse. I have enjoyed Mexican food from the Sonoran border to the West and East coasts for forty years and never seen grasshoppers on the menu.

Only in DC.

Um....no thanks, bugs gross the crap out of me.

[RegulatorCountry]

I suspect actual Mexicans disdain the idea of intentionally eating bugs just as much as “ignorant” flyover country Americans do. I’ve enjoyed Mexican food for thirty years and have never seen it, not here, not in the southwest, not in Mexico.

I would eat grasshopper tacos on [Orthodox] fasting days if they were readily available and inexpensive.

After all, we eat shrimp!

It’s a specially of places like Oaxaca.

The only decent Mexican restaurant in the DC area that I know of is Anita's, a chain with several locations in the Virginia suburbs.

[null and void]

Humans don't usually eat grasshoppers. Just sayin'...

*shrug* They are Kosher. Just sayin'...

[Carriage Hill]

Oh noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, thankyouverymuch...
You go right ahead. I had a late lunch.
I’ll just have a glass of water.

[Lurker]

You’d be surprised. I’ve had tacos like this and they’re not bad.

[RetiredTexasVet]

In many Third World Countries (and in DC and the UN) insects, rodents, and pets are considered meals.

That’s gonna cost us.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

That’s gonna cost us.

[funfan]

A meal fit for a queen she should have also had sh** tacos they would be perfect for her.

I hope Obummer slept last night what with Moochelle chirping and clacking all night long instead of burping from that obnoxious insectian dinner.
