You will probably not be surprised to hear that we didn't sample the typical Aztec foods however - which we saw both in Mexico City and in some restaurants in San Miguel. It includes such delicacies as escamoles (ant eggs), chapulines (crispy fried crickets) or gusanos (worms of the maguey cactus), rolled up in a fresh tortilla and eaten live with salt and lime. I blame my dad. He had food poisoning from the night before from just eating chicken so it didn't encourage us to be adventurous!!
Any of you eaten the eggs or worms before? Lorena - is it one of your favorite dishes??? :-D
