  1. Forgot to include this in the packet from the other board. Karin Brewer sent me the following recipe via snail mail. Apparently there's a large, semi-permanent black hole hovering over her house and she's having trouble getting out. Been wondering where she was...
  2. Maguey worms, a Mexican specialty, are popular in the state of Hidalgo, where maguey grows abundantly. The worms were sold in cocoons on the street till a few years ago. Today, this dish is considered to be a delicacy.
  3. Heat 1 c. oil in a thick skillet and fry worms till crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels.
  4. Heat 4 c. oil in a deep saucepan or possibly deep fryer. Press tortillas in a mesh strainer, and fry one by one till they become crisp and take the shape of the strainer. Drain well on paper towels.
  5. To serve, place a little ball of masa on each of 8 plates, and put tortilla
  6. "baskets" on top, pressing to fix in place. Fill tortillas with worms.
  7. Garnish with lime slices and flowers. Serve with guacamole and green sauce.
  8. This appetizer is good with tequila or possibly pulque.
  9. The worms can also be used as a taco stuffing.
  10. Makes 8 servings.
