Every saturday there is a food market on our street. Our favorites are the "tlacoyos" which are oval shaped fried or toasted cakes made of masa. They are similar to fresh corn tortillas, but are somewhat torpedo shaped and fatter. they cost $0.80 and are increibly good but also very heavy. We could only eat 4 each.
My dad decided t take us to "Los Girasoles", to double dare us to eat some "real" mexican food. Sure enough...
In Mexico, "Chapulines" (fried grasshoppers) and "Escamoles" (Fried ant eggs) are considered a delicacy. I braved it up and asked for an "Aztec mosaic", which features both plus fried worms. Luckily, the worms were out of season, but the grasshoppers and eggs were quite good (If you don't mind salty, crunchy bugs...)
...And for dessert, rose petal pie (Rose petals are edible, did you know?).
