I was nervous to try them, but once I did, I was sold. Africans love to eat what California farmers would spray with pesticides. The French fried catapillers are salty, having the crunch of a good snack, like pretzels or popcorn. Don't be afraid! Try them, you'll like them. I would avoid any uncooked sauces offered to go with them though for sanitary reasons only. To bad these aren't sold in the USA. They would be good with beer.

 Bobo Dioulasso is a nice city to kick back and relax for a few days. People are friendly, the market is surprisingly manageable, and the old town makes for a pretty fascinating visit.

 Bobo is a calm city. I visited during the Ramadan season and it was quite present everywhere. Bobo es una ciudad tranquila. La visité durante el Ramadan, aquí es donde esto más se apreciaba.
