Crispy fried tarantulas, with lime & pepper sauce. As presented by Romdeng restaurant in Phnom Penh. I am still wrestling over whether I will try eating a tarantula while in Cambodia.
Andrew Zimmern on 'Bizarre Foods' claims the legs taste like soft shelled crab but other reviewers say they are more like difficult to eat prawn/shrimp tails. No Westerner seems to have good things to say about trying to eat the abdomen.
On a Louis Vuitton commercial, featuring Angelina Jolie in Cambodia, she says her family love eating fried crickets and she intends to try tarantulas, as she feels it is important to immerse yourself in local culture. However, she does not sound keen and gives no timeframe.
Question:- Maybe I should try a fried cricket first and see how that goes?
