the embryos are deboned. I think they are kinda mushy and kinda crunchy. I dunno and DON'T want to find out.

As for the hairs on the tarantulas, they are fried off, when cooked. Tarantulas aren't poisonous, well, not THAT poisonous and I will be damn sure I know where a hospital is.

Here are some ground rules for me:

1.) I need to see the fucker cooked before my very eyes. No roadside tarantulas for me, that may be loaded with nasty bacteria. I'll go to the market and have one cooked up just for me. And I'll film it all.

2.) As I said, I may not eat it all. I may puke after the first bite. But then again, I may not. I may enjoy it. Lord knows I've eaten strange shit before. But this will probably be tops. But on the film and photos you will see that I have swallowed what I've eaten. If I do spit it out, then no one is on the hook for any money. But if I manage to stomach a reasonable portion, then y'all gotta pony up.

What's life and travel without a daring? Eh?

funny, I just had softshell crab sushi the other day and the shell came apart the right way (or shall we say the 'wrong' way), and it looked gross enough in a certain way that I thought about Sean's little food dare.

(it was the end piece, so I could really see the "structure"...)
