Tim Hortons' chili is no longer on Lindsay Watters�s list of lunchtime favourites. The Halifax marketing manager says she found some type of caterpillar when she was halfway through eating her steaming hot bowl of chili at the Tim Hortons outlet in Debert
You may feel that these two words do not even belong in the same sentence. You have every right to be skeptical. In all probability, you have never deliberately ate an insect. However you have probably inadvertently consumed over a pound of insects in your lifetime.
Your insect consumption adds up. Flour beetles, weevils, and other insect pests that infest granaries are milled along with the grain, finally ending up as tiny black specks in your piece of bread. Small grubs and other tiny insects can be found in your fruit and vegetables. Insects are especially common in canned and other types of processed food, and even in certain beverages!
Edible insects...

Tried those a long time ago... along with fried grasshoppers.
At the Montreal Insectarium, you can go for the "Taster's Choice".
I'm always leery of these kinds of complaints. Too easy to fake something like this and have a friend verify the claim.
I understand, but as someone who once found a beetle in his Whopper (after asking for one with no pickles or onions - hence it had to be made fresh), I don't.
I'm not saying the staff did it on purpose, but if you ever read food standards guidelines, some of the standards are gross - 20 PPM bug allowable in this or 10 PPM bug allowable in that.

Given that someone else bought it for me, yeah, I'm sure (I was at home and my friend bought it).
Now, you I can definitely see someone stuffing bugs into your food at the local Timmies.

Hell I ask for extra. At least I know the bugs will be fresh .... unlike their doughnuts.

I've always wanted to go there too. Usually too hung over from visiting St. Catherines' street though.

A pound a lifetime... holy hell, I get a pound every year.
Full of crunchy goodness.
