Hearing Only Love -- kd lang
Just in time for lunch, a story here about local delicacies from around the world which just might cause you to go "eeeeeew." Here's one from Cambodia: Tarantula!
These aren’t incey-wincey house spiders, they’re stuff-of-nightmares tarantulas. The last correspondent we sent to try one described it thus: “The legs are the size and colour of a Cadbury chocolate finger, though if your chocolate finger was as hirsute as this, you’d definitely take it back to the shop. They’re cooked whole, which is particularly repellent – eyes, fangs, the lot. Pulling the legs off without squeezing the pus out of the abdomen is tricky.” Off you all race to Cambodia.
Yes, I think I'll be skipping that particular meal. Although I have tried at least one of foodstuffs described here (or something similar enough to qualify). Can you guess which one?
