Health department bugs out over grasshopper tacos
Yesterday it was cicadas in the ice cream . Today's taboo is grasshoppers in the tacos - but there's a difference. While Sparky's frozen critter crisp dessert was invented on a lark, "tacos de chapulines " are a popular cart and bar snack in Mexico City, Oaxaca and even in certain parts of the United States. Devotees cite the cooked bugs' appealing crunch and protein content - said to be twice that of beef . However, local authorities aren't keen on where La Oaxaqueña Bakery and Restaurant owner Harry Persaud was sourcing his grasshoppers. While he has a permit to import them, the vendor he's using is not FDA-approved, and he has yet to locate a domestic, approved source.insect recipes
