Escamoles
What it is made from: Escamoles are the “earthly” analog of black caviar — a delicacy with a soft buttery-nutty taste. It has a pleasant texture that feels like cottage cheese and though the dish looks like it’s made of small grains of rice, in fact, it is really ant larvae.

Where to try it: Only in Mexico. Taking escamoles out of the country is a crime. Visit this country from February to April, the season for this dish, and go to the Fonda Don Chon restaurant, which specializes in dishes from the pre-Columbian era.
Do you have your own list of dishes that someone should try at least once in their lifetime? How different is it from ours?
