Unfortunately I did not get to try these on my trip to San Fran
while they were still street legal. Updates on the trip coming soon!
San Francisco Health Department has banned La Oaxaqueña Bakery and Restaurant
from selling their famous grasshopper tacos.
"(Proprietor Harry) Persaud says grasshoppers are a traditional food in his native Oaxaca.
'They're eaten on every street corner in Oaxaca,
they're sold in all the markets and they've been doing that for decades,' Persaud said.
In fact, Persaud says he gets the grasshoppers straight from Oaxaca,
along with the mole and the tortillas, to make his food as authentic as possible...
'They want us to get grasshoppers from here, United States,' Persaud said.
Even though Persaud has a permit to import the grasshoppers,
the health department says the place he is buying them is not FDA approved.
In fact, they said they do not know of any federally approved source for grasshoppers."
