In Late February and early March, the Insectarium in Olympic Park hosts a two-week taste test of its most delectable creepy crawlers. It's a popular event, attracting more than 20,000 people every year to savor a menu that might include walking sticks, crickets, mealworms, caterpillars, and locusts. Don't knock it until you've tried it: Visitors remark that wax-moth larvae taste like bacon, and that munching African locusts (baked to a crunchy perfection) is something like eating "potato chips with wings." Admission to the Insectarium includes the tasting, but it's a good idea to researve ahead. — Lonely Planet/Montréal, p. 75.
