Cinnamon-flavored Bugs

TAXCO, MEXICO

-

Harvested from their mountain homes, these ancient stink bugs— jumiles—are commonly doused with lime, wrapped in tortillas and consumed while the bug still has full capacity of its scuttling legs. An annual Jumil Day honoring them takes place on the Monday after the Day of the Dead because many locals believe the insects are the reincarnat­ion of their ancestors.
