Darn, I was expecting something more scandalous.

Woah...looks like some mad scientist has been experimenting on the abominable snowman...

Not quite. It seems God is to blame for this one, putting something so deep in the ocean we couldn't find it till now.

Yay! And disgusting!

TheSuburbanLetdown · Post by **TheSuburbanLetdown** » Wed Mar 08, 2006 7:05 am

I wonder if it tastes good.

I wouldn't be able to get past the furry claws to find out.

I think it looks kind of cute...

I've been flooded with pictures of that thing all day, it's in all the papers here.

I suspect that it would - I've given it some thought.

It's a small lobster, and when cooked would not be big enough to be a meal on it's own. You'd need a couple of them, some mashed potatoes, corn, and some kind of salted drink, perhaps a margarita. or soda and slightly salted butter. You'd want a sweeter butter I would think, since smaller lobsters and crabs tend to have a stronger flavor.

I'd eat them.

Incidentally, those hairs are more commonly found on crabs (whose exoskeletons have ports to let the hairs out - on an alaskan king crab you see them as the spines on the legs), and this thing looks a lot more crablike than lobsterlike.

looks like a tarantula to me.

man, this is just proof that stuff in the water is nasty and should never be eaten.

also, eating tarantulas sounds gross to me.

Maybe that's why I think it's cute.

In one part of the world, people eat them and use their fangs as toothpicks.

And then wear their fur.

Tarantulas taste like crab. Their hair is also an irritant to human skin.

It's my educated opinion that spiders taste godawful. Cockeroaches, especially the larger ones, taste delicious boiled with onions, then dipped in butter.

What type of spiders have you had? I remember you saying something about having a goal to eat every species possible.

Aside from eating a daddy-long-legs, I honestly don't know what the species of spiders I've tried are - they're usually made into dishes and/or sauces. I had a candy bar with lots of spiders in it, and the candy was fine, but the spiders were awful. That's my impression of their taste.

I do know I haven't eaten a tarantula, mostly because when I had the money to buy one I didn't have a good recipe, and was afraid of the poison.
