First of all, i HATE spiders!
![]() However, Spiders are closely related to crabs and fishing the meat from a Goliath spiders legs is just like fishing the meat out of a crabs leg. The meat looks, tastes and has the same texture of crab. I could actually eat a plate of the stuff if it was just presented in it's meat form. I could'nt crack the legs and fish the meat out like i can with a crab leg though. I could'nt eat the meat from some alien looking beast lke a Camel Spider though no matter what. ![]() If someone gave me the following and told me that it was Goliath Spider leg meat i would gobble it up. ![]() http://www.redsnapperseafoods.co.uk/...all%5B1%5D.jpg |

No, but not because it's a spider. I hate the taste of crab meat so if it tastes like that I wouldn't like it.

Ew makes me cringe just looking at it. But no, I could never eat it, just because of the thought of it being from a spider. |

Crab leg meat is paradise with a bit of vinegar sprinkled on.

Speaking of bugs... I have buckets of freeze-dried meal worms for my gerbils and every time I open them some part of me goes 'these look kinda nummy'.
They look like mini snacks... |

I would never eat spiders legs, on the basis of my sexuality. That dish does look pretty tasty though.

Are you asking if I could eat it knowing that it was a spider, or after I just had the plate of meat in front of me?
Former: no chance. Latter: Possibly. Then the waiter says "Enjoy your Goliath Spider leg meat sir/madam" ![]() Then, would you tuck in? I'd have no problm eating it even though i hate them and would run a mile from a live one.

Looks nice - I wouldn't be bothered either by the fact that it came from a spider

Former: no chance. Latter: Possibly. I would not expect to be in a situation where some 'meat' was placed in front of me that I had not ordered. I would not order or eat any kind of 'meat' without being clear about what it was, and if it was just placed in front of me without me knowing, I would ask what it was. Would you eat something just to be polite? What sort of situation might you be in where such a thing could happen? |

As long as it bore no resemblance to the spider, I'd probably try it.

If I saw one of those dead or alive I would run around screaming like a big girl, spiders
![]() I don't like to eat crab or anything fishy so can't see me eating it even in its meat form. Looked and tasted like a plate of steak I would probably eat it though. |
