Haven't yet seen this stuff at Maxwell St.

Someone just shared this link with me via a Mexican recipe discussion list. I've travelled through Mexico numerous times and haven't seen most of these delicacies. The rest of the site is pretty interesting too!

I've eaten chapulines, but never any of the other things mentioned on that page. I didn't really see the appeal of them, to be honest. They're covered in the same hot pepper mixture that's frequently found on peanuts, which I prefer, because peanuts don't have legs that poke your gums and throat as you chew and swallow.

What a great site. This list of "notable mercados" would be great to take along if you're traveling in Mexico.
