MAGGOT STEW



Maggot Stew image

This is a recipe that my mother makes every year around Halloween when we get together for family dinner night. It's not a traditional gravy stew...it's almost like an Italian soup. It can be made ahead of time and warmed up in a crock pot or even frozen in individual portions and warmed in the microwave. The 'maggots' give an 'ewww' factor that the kids love!! My nephew that likes nothing but chicken nuggets and french fries will eat this, so it's always made for Halloween dinner!

  • Cicadas. Also known as “the shrimp of the land.” Cicadas are delicious roasted over an open fire, or deep-fried and tossed with salt and seasonings like chili powder or honey mustard.
  • Mealworms. Mealworms are the larvae of the darkling beetle. Both dried and live mealworms are readily available online. These can be roasted in the oven and salted, or marinated with ginger, garlic, and soy, and prepared in an Asian style stir-fry.
  • Scorpions. In China and Thailand, these critters are often served skewered and fried. They apparently taste similar to soft shell crab.

  • Fried Ahuautles. Axayácatl is the generic name given to various species of insects that live in the lakes of the Valley of Mexico. Although it is not a properly aquatic insect, it reproduces in water and both the animal and its roe have been delicacies since pre-Hispanic times.
  • Chahuis with lemon. In Mexico there are more than 80 species of edible beetles, which are eaten mainly in the larval stage. They come mainly from four families of insects (Cerambycidae, Melolonthidae, Scarabaeidae and Passalidae) and receive other names, such as stick worm and blind hen.
  • Chachamas with garlic sauce. The spoonbill caterpillar has transcended the Puebla municipality of Zapotitlán, where there is a tradition of consumption since pre-Hispanic times to enter some gourmet dishes thanks to its characteristic flavor.
  • Dragonflies with chili peppers and lemon. Dragonflies are large-eyed anisoptera insects that live near freshwater bodies, because their nymphs are aquatic.
  • Baked Tarantulas. Among the typical Mexican dishes with insects, the roasted tarantula is one of the most unusual. Tarantulas are fundamentally the largest spiders that make up the genus Lycosa and carry a bad reputation for their supposed lethal bite, which is more myth than reality.
