Deep Fried Tarantulas

I am thinking of bringing this Asian delicacy to the States. Should I apply for a business license now or later? I read in the New York Daily News about a fashion trend featuring a spitting roach or somesuch that is worn on your lapel, the body fashioned with semi-precious jewels, and a little gold chain to keep the critter in place.

Yes, there are people dumb enough to wear this. Without dumb people in the world, there would not be a fashion industry.

But is it dumb to eat bugs?

In the more heavily populated and poorer areas of the world, I can understand eating anything you can get your hands on and won't kill you. There isn't much choice. But some critters such as the Tarantula are considered a delicacy when stir fried or batter dipped. Yeppers, it's considered a treat.

Not convinced?

Okay, you say. The woman was paid to eat the one for the camera.

But you are wrong. It was not a paid advertisement or portion control.

Happy eating! Don't forget your fruit! And a toothpick for those pesky legs that get caught between the teeth!
