| Insects on the menu |
|
Most of us panic if we find something with more than four legs on our dinner plate, but guests to this year’s AnnanROMA Food and Wine Festival, now in its ninth year at the Australian Botanic Garden Mount Annan, can expect fare for the ‘acquired taste’ with crunchy crickets, meal worms and ants on the menu. Bug expert, Butterfly Skye, will be hosting insect cooking demonstrations on the day with plenty of samples for the brave-at-heart. Roasted crickets are a staple and beautifully complement a dish flavoured with ant seasoning salt. For those who prefer their insects uncooked, a unique mobile butterfly house will be on display. But it's not all legs and wings. To accompany Sydney’s latest burger obsession, organisers have also ‘beefed up’ their offering for the event. A host of gourmet burger options will be available, from Burger Frank to BC Burgers, giving festival guests the chance to find their perfect combination. Other event highlights will include indigenous bush food tours led by the Australian Botanic Garden’s indigenous officers. This free event is on Sunday 27 May, 10am to 4pm, and there is free onsite parking. +++ If tomatoes are more tour thing, then there is a tasty Tomato Festival between February 17-18.
