Eating Spiders in Cambodia




I came across this clip while searching for strange foods. I would say i am willing to eat almost anything and everything, but this i am sorry to say does not make my list. Tapping into my fear of spiders watching it brought out a true sense of horror. With some many things we eat they no longer retain their original form, but here the spiders look exactly the same. I will say what i do love is seeing the moment when even a man from the same culture has no interest in eating this delicacy. It makes me wonder about the lost traditions in food as things such as canned goods, and more processed food sources became the norm pushing out traditions in cambodia's culinary history. What do you think, and would you dare to eat this?
