No more "exotic" than eating snails.
Chapulines (grasshoppers) are delicious. If you like dried or fried shrimp, you'll like chapulines. High in protein and basically non-fat, they are very healthy---toasted and seasoned with lime, garlic, and chili, they make good tacos, or you can use them to top avocados, or just eat them as a crunchy snack with beer or a margarita. MMmm, mmm!

I'm talking about the everyday experience, not some fancy restaurants in the Western world. You really think Mexicans eat the things you posted on an everyday basis?  |
Most of those pics weren't taken in fancy restaurants. Many Mexicans I know make their own salsas. Tacos are very easy to make. What American doesn't have taco night at home? We use the store-bought corn tortillas, though. We buy the Guerrero brand:
And yeah, most people around the world make easy meals at home. But easy meals don't necessarily have to be bland and flavorless.
