Wonder if spiders taste like anything.
I looked up a bunch of stuff, but nothing really describes it. Some say it tastes like crab or chicken, but others say not. The articles of people describing their experience only really talk about the texture and crunchiness or whatever, and not much of what it tastes like.
They like to say that it tastes bland, but nothing beyond that. They mention the flavor, just that it's not what I'm looking for.
The opinion is more drawn to it tasting like chicken, but I feel like that's people just reaching. I bet one guy said "oh it tastes like chicken" and then others just repeated that and made themselves believe it.
Your mind can trick you into thinking that something tastes similar to something else, while in reality it may not even be close. Especially when it comes to tasteless stuff. If you get told a lot that something that's bland tastes like a certain thing before you finally try it, your brain is definitely going to try to affirm to that.
I think that may be the case here since they are said to be bland after all, which is something you'd expect from bugs or anything bug-like.
Then again, they're the ones that ate a spider, so, I don't have much ground to speak on. I'd still bet on it simply not tasting like anything.
If I ever go food adventuring, I'll tell.
Oh, and apparently fried spiders melt in your mouth, with exploding innards also. Terrible.
Anyway. Let alone the taste, and let alone the retards who wanna eat spiders to think they're special, I mean, it was only had as a necessity food and now it's just a tourist trap, do you really think there's anything to it? Let alone all that. Some places have you paying 5 dollars per spider, and some people actually buy it.
Not in Cambodia where it's the most popular, I don't think, but going from articles people have actually paid 5 bucks for this shit in other places.
I get that it's a tourist trap, but, wow. You can buy a nice hamburger here for below that price.
