Before getting into the topic, let's talk about the team of this dish- Seattle Mariners. Although this team has not entered the playoffs in 19 years, the Mariners also have high popularity and strong superstar players, such as our Ronshin (Suzuki Ichiro), Ken Griffey Jr., "Troll" Randy Johnson (Randy Johnson) and so on, every name is like a thunderbolt, I believe everyone here is not unfamiliar at all.
Having said that, the sailor who has not been crowned champion of the World Series has another thing that broke through the siege and attracted everyone's attention. That is T-Mobile's stadium delicacy- grilled grasshopper.

This grilled grasshopper is actually a Mexican-style delicacy. Here is a cold knowledge about popular science. Mexico is the world’s favorite country to eat insects. There are more than 2,000 insects in its territory, even Their state banquet is also full of insect dishes.
The Mexican custom of eating grasshoppers can be traced back to folk customs in the western Oaxaca region in the 16th century. At that time, the indigenous Mexicans would eat a kind of locust called Chapolin Chichichioa and made it into a casserole dish, so much so that the custom of eating grasshoppers continues in many areas of Mexico.

It happened that the Mariner Stadium introduced this Mexican food only because a partner supplier named Centerplate promoted grilled grasshoppers to managers, and held the stadium. I started selling this snack with the mentality of trying, but I didn't expect it to get a tide of popularity and praise.
