The Seattle Mariners Are Serving Toasted Grasshoppers
They come as a side order or sprinkled on tacos...
Baseball games have long been associated with a variety of food & snacks. Likely because during the span of 9 innings fans have nothing else to do but eat.
The Seattle Mariners are the first to offer their fans a snack that I used to chase in my parents backyard as a kid. Grasshoppers, toasted with a hing of seasoning.
UPDATE: The Mariners sold 310 orders (4 oz cup for $4) of toasted grasshoppers at yesterday’s home opener pic.twitter.com/ZRKebWY2zq

They can be purchased as a side, or sprinkled in tacos and the reviews seem to be pretty good…

They even sold out on Opening Day, over 300 cups = 13lbs of grasshoppers…
@darrenrovell Just had some. They aren’t bad. A tad spicy but good! pic.twitter.com/ubtNUoBonx

Beer & grasshoppers are the new beer & peanuts combination…
