Uhhh........no.
I’ll pass.
Why?
Who in the HELL thought of frying and eating tarantulas? It makes eating oysters sound totally reasonable....
Can we just not have to try to eat anything and everything please?
Just fry batter and leave out the gross spider.
What! Frying tarantulas? They have feelings too.
I find the idea revolting.
However.... Did yku know that Spuders and Scorpions are distantly related to...The Lobster??
Unfortunately, it’s true.
Don’t tell Michelle!
Actually, if I had seen a live shrimp before I ever ate one, I probably would have refused to eat it. I’m not eating crickets, grasshoppers, cockroaches, flies or spiders, but some of them are spoken of as food in the Bible. As a matter of fact, shrimp are supposedly related to cockroaches!
Do they have any chocolate covered roaches?
Nope.
Still not eating bugs.
I don’t care who does it, how often, how long, or how good they say it tastes.
They learned to eat these during khmer years to avoid starvation iirc.
Not even if you soaked them in virgin boy urine first
I’m told that the second and third legs are the best part, tastiest and not stringy.
The assortment of foods at the street vendors in Phnom Penh is like visiting a freak show.
I couldn’t believe some of the stuff they eat. Rats, cats, dogs, monkeys, baby crocodiles, worms, scorpions, snakes, spiders, half hatched duck eggs, tiger penis soup.....
The odd part of it was that things were served intact with head and eyes still looking at you. It was not just frog legs, it was the entire frog on a skewer like a kabob. Same with whole baby octopus on a skewer!
The worst smelling fruit was the durian. It smells like a septic tank crossed with vomit. It smells so bad that they are forbidden entry into many hotels. They are that bad that I would cross the street to avoid the street vender’s stand. (They were popular in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia.)
I took pictures of many of the menu signs in front of the restaurants.
For people who don’t want to eat insects. /smirk
THEY can eat all of them they want. Bit I did not claw my way to the top of the food chain to eat BUGS!
There was an old woman who swallowed a fly, I don’t know why, maybe they’ll die.
There was an old woman who swallowed a spider, It wiggled and jiggled and tickled insider. She swallowed the spider to catch the fly......
I mean free-range tarantulas, of course, not the farmed ones.
