How To Make Grasshopper Trail Mix With Oaxacan 'Chapulines'

If you consider yourself a foodie and you want to take a trip, look no further than Oaxaca , one of Mexico's most important gastronomical hubs, for a unique culinary experience. 

The southwest state's cuisine is rooted in indigenous traditions that attract food tourists from across the world, including the Travel Channel's Andrew Zimmern. The host of "Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern" traveled to the region to try several of its delicacies, including the specially seasoned chapulines, or grasshoppers.
