Just try them. They're not as disgusting as they look.

Okay, so we have the guacamole. We add some insects. We add grasshoppers or black ants.

We also have the chapulines dish, which is the grasshoppers with avocado and fresh cheese. We also have the chapulines croquettes, which we mix the croquettes and baby grasshoppers.

Yes. I do like grasshoppers. You go through Mexico streets, and you can grab a pound of grasshoppers and eat it while you walk. It's healthier than chips and stuff like that.

So when they come for a first time, I would try to give them the croquettes. It's a little bit more soft. They're delicious. They have cheese, a more similar taste. Then if they want to feel more adventurous, I will send like a whole dish of croquettes or grasshoppers. I try to push it a little bit at a time.
