Edible Insects

Did you ever wander what scorpions tasted like or BBQ worm crisps, well you can wonder no more. At Edible.com you can order those and many other insects to try. Along with insects, they sell herbs, spices and aphrodisiacs. So, if you have adventurous taste buds here's a good place to test them out. I have to say that I've never purposely eaten an insect, but might give it a try if they were properly prepared.

There's a chain of candy stores here in town (maybe beyond) called Sugar Mountain. (They have a major store along Elgin St., wheremany bars are located; the candy store stays open until 2.00am on Fridays and Satudays!) They have a tiny section of edible insects: chocolate covered ants, scorpion and cricket sucers, and my favourite, Larvettes!

I've never eaten any of them, but look at the name: Larvettes!

I'll never look at a Dorito the same way again.
