I’ve always tried the local fare. Yes, sometimes it made me hurl.
But I’ve never been the type to simply turn away
and so I’m here to recommend “gusanos de maguey.”
Yes, they’re worms and most of us, I think, would be disgusted.
But I’ve learned to watch the locals, whose palette’s can be trusted.
Just because it’s not with our “norm” doesn’t make it a threat.
It’s just different and, for the most part, I’ve always had no regret.
About three inches long, they’re best when lightly braised
with hot spices (not too much) until they’re almost glazed.
They make the perfect snack served in a tortilla, hot,
and it never hurts to chase with a tequila shot.
They have a flavor that is reminiscent of pork bacon
and over time I’ve found that I have been quite taken
with their subtle taste and texture. Moreover,
after eating them, I’ve never had a hang-over!

Adding your comment:
... are you trying to tell me "No Way?" I bet if you tried them (and didn't know what they were) you'd love 'em. They really are good - disgusting, but good
