Mexican Tidbits.

Water bugs and worms are among the tidbits in which the Mexican peon delights. He catches his bugs as they skim along the top of fresh water ponds, drying them and then eating them with as much Zest as an Ameri- can boy eats peanuts. As near as the peon can explain it, their flavor is something on the order of the chest nut, but as no white man has ever tried eating water bugs, or. if he has, 1oesn't dare confess it, the exact taste )f these Mexican morsels can't be de scribed very accurately. The peons 1ote, too, on the nice fat pulque worm. This insect is about two inches long and half an inch thick. They fry the dainty in grease.
