I'll eat anything that doesn't eat me first

seasoned pork, steak, pork rinds, cheese, quesillo, grasshoppers, guacamole, fried tacos filled with chicken and memelitas.

chapulines and quesillo (string cheese)

The first thing besides mole that I had to eat was chapulines (grasshoppers). I was expecting a big crunchy bug but instead got a pile of teeny tiny bugs that are closer to the size of gnats. They were delicious and organic, as were all the items on the Oaxaca sampler platter from Restaurant La Olla .

So far I've drunk bottled water but have eaten fruit off the street and used tap water to brush my teeth with no problems. I'm also taking a lot of acidopholus daily, so hopefully I havent' jinxed myself!
