While its place in central Mexico is more evident, it has been difficult to find data and information on its practice in Oaxaca, and in particular where chapulines (toasted grasshoppers) might fit. Grateful for any insights.

I am looking for consumption data at the urban level in the EU, preferably 2 or 3 capital cities. Trade statistics (with the rest of the country and the rest of the world) or input-output data are also helpful, or even better. I would like to compare urban consumption data (per capita) with the average for the rest of the country. Thank you for any help in this!
