Chapulines, or grasshoppers, are considered a delicacy by many Mexicans. They are collected only at certain times of year. They are thoroughly cleaned and washed out, then fried with chiles and lemon juice, to create a very Mexican taste. Chapulines are available only in some parts of Mexico, the state of Oaxaca being the main place to get hold of them. They are available in varying sizes, small to large.
