I think you need to warp your chapulin in a tortilla so you do not have the velcro like legs sticking to your throat. Unfortunately I'm not an expert on Jumiles or Chapulines. I grew up in Monterrey, Mexico and we are famous for carne asada or cabrito (goat). Jose Vasconcelos said "La civilización termina donde comienza la carne asada." meaning that nortenos were not very cultured people, to say it bluntly they were really unsophisticated. To my fortune my parents were from the center part of Mexico and we had an incredible variety on our meals. We learned to appreciate food, specially the kind that has cultural significance. I'm glad you tried them. They have been eaten for centuries by the natives. When I first read the title I thought you had “Jumiles” but that is another insect, another Oxacan delicacies.
