Flesh Eaters & Insect Meals: Montreal takes eating to the next level

[Special thanks to FreeWilliamsburg for alerting us to the developing story about hipsters eating human flesh]:

It is widely known that the flesh of Dungeons & Dragon role players is particularly tender, so it came as no surprise when the hipster of Montreal transformed themselves into zombies and hunted down these delicacies in Mount Royal Park during the weekly role-playing romp. We are glad that hipster are taking the foodie lifestyle to the next level. The lifestyle had become too safe, too bourgeoisie. Foodies had become complacent. The time is right for the sampling of human flesh to begin.

What we especially like about this particular group of foodies is that while they have cutting edge palets, when the battle for human flesh is over, they can still take their mouths back to the basics, back to their roots. These foodies keep it real. While they know about the joys of the culinary adventure, they also appreciate the greatness of fast food. When their human flesh eating is through, they are not afraid that their integrity will be destroyed by eating the less taboo flesh of cows and chickens at McDonalds.

But in Montreal the eating adventures don't stop with human flesh.

At an annual eating event at the Insectarium du Montreal, there is an "Insect Tasting Celebration." We've been meaning to attend for years. And after Anna, the sister of a cakeheader, returned from an eating adventure in Thailand and Laos touting the magical flavors of critters and grubs, we wanted to attend this Montreal-based event even more. But once again, we missed the eating extravaganza. Here's a sampling of the menu:

On the menu:
Atta-wrap: Atta ants in a tortilla
Cool crickets: Roasted crickets served on a cucumber canapé
Bamboochetta: Bruschetta with olive tapenade and bamboo worms
From our grill: Barbecued walkingsticks and locusts
Entomobar: Darkling beetle snack bar
Cricket surprise: Jellied crickets
