Posts: 657Wichos are high-protein grasshopper snacks made in Mexico. . . Bugs, the new fad?
Fancy a tasty, healthy, high-protein, high-fiber snack that is environmentally-friendly and uniquely Mexican? Two Mexican entrepreneurs, Erika Gil Gutiérrez and Magali Díaz García, are the brains behind Winko, a company that has been selling the crunchy chapulín snacks for the past year. "Mexico has a wide variety of edible insects, and they're also part of our culture. We thought it was a good idea to experiment with them to see how we could offer a product that is healthy, of good quality, tasty and which nourishes. . . People and doesn't just satisfy their craving. . . " Gil said. "Of all the insects we looked at, the grasshopper was the one with the greatest quantity of protein for the lowest cost," Gil said.
Díaz added that satisfying protein needs by eating grasshoppers is more environmentally-friendly than the consumption of farmed meat. . .
In other news, EU Gives Go-Ahead For Eating Worms.
In coming months the agency hopes to approve all kinds of other bugs to be sold as meals, including the lesser mealworm, house cricket, banded cricket, black soldier fly, honeybee drone and a type of locust.
"Currently, the EU is heavily reliant on the importation of feedstuffs, but the disruption in the past few months with the coronavirus outbreak has made it increasingly apparent that we must look to make our agriculture more self-sustainable," he said.
"Insects can be produced locally and are a highly nutritious, protein-rich foodstuff that can be produced in high quantities in a small area," he added. . . The craze for eating insects stems from UN guidelines that "promote insects as a sustainable high-protein food. " This is why globalist publications like the Economist have been promoting the idea of eating bugs despite the fact that the kind of elitists who read it would never consider for a second munching on crickets or mealworms. Unsurprisingly, restaurants are not seeing a big uptake for worm burgers, otherwise known as 'bug macs', or cricket based cuisine. . "

They have lychees for desert but they aren't on the menu. Served on ice with grenadine.

The family that owns it has Chinese / Mexican roots. It is as close to GOOD American Style Chinese that you would find in NYC or London. Not everything is top notch but for Tijuana or San Diego you would be hard pressed to find better.
The Chans ANNEX in La Cacho is my favorite menu compared to the main location on Sanchez Taboada.

Posts: 2537Chinese food place on Constitucion
I tried the Chines place on Constitucion last night. Was fairly disappointing. The orange chicken was okay, but not great. The chow mein was reasonably good. The fried rice was dry and had almost no taste. Would not go back.

Posts: 728More Paella
I went over to Lorca Spanish restaurant last night for the Paella meal. It was billed as Arroz Negro, and it was truly black, gooey, charcoaly rice. It got all over my hands, face, clothes etc. Big turn off. Clams and calamari mixed in there but many of the clam shells didn't have any clams in them. Some strips of Calamari. Not many. But I was very disappointed. No salad in the order. Bad Paella experience. Wouldn't go back. Cost 195 pesos.
