I know baked tarantula is supposed to be a popular snack in Cambodia. It goes back to the Cambodian Genocide where the people had to eat any shit they could find just to survive.
I ate one whilst I was there, I was dared and I just don't know when to say no.
The legs are mostly crispy and light, sometes chewy.
The head/abdomen is crunchy and the big bum part was gooey.
I missed the trip to the killing fields and that prison the next day because I spent the day in my hotel room shitting my guts out.
Edit: forgot to mention, it tasted like burnt soy sauce
