Good God. I wonder if they served Golden orb-weaving spiders (Nephila edulis) have plump abdomens that, after baking, tastes remarkably like pâté?
Sorry. I just came from another thread that still has me shaking my head!
I spent a month in Italy years ago, and Pompeii was one of the most amazing places I visited. Wonderful that they are still uncovering more treasures.
