Yep. You read right. Fried grasshoppers will be served at Mariners home games this season.
If you can get over the image that the crunchy bite could be their eyes popping out and the fact that the blade-like back legs are tickling your tongue – then you will have no problem enjoying these beer-friendly morsels. It’s like popcorn, only with eyes and legs.
Actually, for the uninitiated, these Oaxacan chapulines seasoned with chile-lime salt seasoning aren’t bad. You only taste the salty, citrusy seasoning. Perfect with a beer or tequila.
The fried grasshoppers are part of the new ballpark offerings.
