Do People Eat Spiders As Food?

You probably already know that in many human cultures, people eat insects, grubs, and worms. Eating creepy crawly things is, in fact, the norm, not the exception.
Grasshoppers are routinely eaten in many parts of the world. And even the lowly earthworm is a valuable source of protein. But spiders? While it’s possible the occasional spider might be accidentally swallowed, to intentionally eat a spider, you’d have to be desperate, right?

Well, in Cambodia, fried spider is a delicacy. Specifically, in the town of Skuon, located about 45 miles from Phnom Penh, the nation’s capital, they enjoy eating a type of Asian tarantula called ah pieng. It’s about two inches across and is said to taste a little like crunchy fried prawns.
After the spiders are deep fried with a little salt and garlic, the locals eat them a bit like eating a crab. They pull off the legs and then suck the meat, or spider flesh, that comes with them, which is very little, and then tackle the head and body. The abdomen, the big fat portion at the back of the spider, is not desirable, as it is mostly a brown, bitter slush, containing organs, eggs, and poop.
