Personally I’ve never tried them but Tarantula tacos are totally a thing that people really eat, so are scorpion tacos which I guess technically aren’t spiders but they are arachnids so I figured they were worth a mention.
No pictures included since I figured fans of spiders might not want to see dead spiders.
I’ve never tried spiders - much as I love them I try to avoid physical contact with them as much as possible, so honestly not sure I could!
I have tried crickets though, and can confirm they’re pretty good. Would be interesting to see if there’s a flavour difference between arachnids and insects!
I live in Australia, spiders are so commonplace over here all times of the year that we don’t even take notice of them any more
We pretty routinely get huntsman spiders as big as a dinner plate just casually chilling in the corners of our rooms. But they’re chill and they eat the flies and mozzies so we keep em around.
The more nasty ones like Redbacks and funnel webs can fuck right off though. We either evict them with extreme prejudice or if that’s too risky kill them on sight.
Made the mistake of looking up images of huntsman spiders from Australia and wow - I keep plenty of cellar spiders around to deal with house pests, but something that huge might be a push too far for me no matter how helpful!
Funnel webs sound legitimately terrifying, no idea how you cope with those fuckers about
