Skun, Skuon or Spiderville is centrally located in Cambodia.  Here is the place to try those exotic bugs.

Those hairy-bug-eating eight-legged venomous arachnids called Tarantulas.   First thought was – “Am I going to die from eating this thing?”  Second thought was other people have done it and they lived, so hook me up!  They didn’t look too furious.  In fact, their appearance was quite like a gummy spider.  However, once I had the spider in my hands – I could tell they were cooked in some heavy oil leaving a very greasy feeling on my fingers.  Then I ripped the little guy into two section and looked inside – not much to it.  I could feel my stomach throb just a bit at the thought of putting this creature into my mouth.  “Hesitation kills” as I like to say, so in with the spider.  Crunch crunch and more crunch crunch and more crunch crunch – hmmm there is a lot of fiber in this little guy.  Have you every eaten a piece of celery that seems to last forever?  Well image for a moment you are eating greasy celery, now think of what you are eating – yep that’s a frakkin spider in my mouth.  So what do you do with celery – you swallow it and I swallow that “tasty” hairy jumping arachnid.
