I'm just imagining a satisfied peasant dozing under the influence of
the high levels of trytophan in his Thanksgiving Day feast of jumiles (

Insects provide important vital nutrients to impoverished indigenous

I posted a recipe for chapulines (grasshoppers) in this NG earlier this

Gusanos (corn worms) are toasted to fill tacos...
