They’re not tiny little house spiders, they’re great big  tarantulas and you can buy them in the streets of Skuon, Cambodia.   They’re fried whole – legs, fangs and all. They were first discovered  by starving Cambodians in the bloody, brutal days of the Khmer Rouge  rule and have gone from being the vital sustenance of these people to a  delicacy tourists come far and wide to try.  The black hairy arachnids found in the jungle around the market town  of Skuon have become a source of fame and fortune for the region as bus  loads of people stop to try them on their way to other places. They cost  only a few cents and supposedly taste delicious, as they are best  plucked straight from the burrow and pan fried with a bit of garlic and  salt. They’re supposed to taste a bit like crickets or scrawny chickens  and are crispy on the outside with a gooey body on the inside.<img src="http://bna-art.s3.amazonaws.com/www.bootsnall.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/FriedSpiders.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
