Imagine the crunch

Cambodian fried spiders; best excerpt from wikipedia:
> the spiders are tossed in a mixture of MSG, sugar, and salt; crushed garlic is fried in oil until fragrant, then the spiders are added and fried alongside the garlic until "the legs are almost completely stiff, by which time the contents of the abdomen are not so runny."[5]

>The taste has been described as bland, "rather like a cross between chicken and cod", with a contrast in texture from a crispy exterior to a soft centre. The legs contain little flesh, while the head and body have "a delicate white meat inside". There are certainly those who might not enjoy the abdomen, however, as it contains a brown paste consisting of organs, possibly eggs, and excrements. Some call it a delicacy while others recommend not eating it. In Mexico, tarantulas have been offered in tacos, with a splash of guacamole. However, Mexican authorities stopped this restaurant from selling them, because they are a protected species.
