- 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...
- 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.
- Heat 1 c. oil in a thick skillet and fry worms till crisp. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- 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.
- To serve, place a little ball of masa on each of 8 plates, and put tortilla
- "baskets" on top, pressing to fix in place. Fill tortillas with worms.
- Garnish with lime slices and flowers. Serve with guacamole and green sauce.
- This appetizer is good with tequila or possibly pulque.
- The worms can also be used as a taco stuffing.
- Makes 8 servings.
