Ingredients:
Chilled, live tarantulas
Directions:
This is the process for Tarantula Tempura.
(Please do not try running to the pet store and making this at home)
Warning: "DON'T TAKE THE JUMP IF YOU'VE GOT A WEAK STOMACH OR A FEAR OF INSECTS, SPIDERS OR KANGAROOS."
- Get a live tarantula that's been kept refrigerated to make it sluggish.
- Stick it in a bowl full of brandy to get it tipsy and make sure the hairs soak in the liquid.
- Put the tarantula on a tray and under a broiler.
- The hairs, which can be hard to digest, will burn off.
- The hairs, which can be hard to digest, will burn off.
- Skewer the tarantula and stick it in the batter of your choice.
- Deep fry, let rest, enjoy.

Will PETA have a problem broiling a live tarantula? (Whether it is drunk or not)?
Oh look! It's almost time for brunch!

ReplyDeleteVery cool event of "The Explorers Club"
ReplyDeleteThe invitation to the 100th Annual Explorer’s Club Dinner last Saturday called for black tie – but when a large percentage of the invitees have visited all seven continents, tuxedos seem pedestrian. Instead, many of the intrepid guests arrived at the Waldorf in exotic finery from as far afield as Afghanistan, Bhutan and Laos.
So what does one serve to a crowd as worldly (literally) as the friends and members of the Explorer’s Club? The cocktail hour featured an elaborate buffet of delicacies that would fit right in most people’s “Fear Factor.” There were tempura-style tarantulas, roasted crickets, mealworm “sushi”, termite spring rolls and “foie gras and durian fruit on raisin bread, topped with mouthwatering scorpions.” Yum! (Or, hmm.)
For those on low-insect diets, there were a few vertebrates on the menu, too – barbecued alligator, roasted rattlesnake, succulent North American Beaver and ostrich tartar. Gene Rurka, who planned the spread, hastened to point out that it was all very Atkins-friendly.
In case you were wondering, alligator does taste just like chicken – only slightly tougher. Ditto rattlesnake. Beaver, however, is more like venison – a gamy red meat. And the bugs? Well, if you put enough cream cheese and pepper jelly on your cricket or chipotle mayonnaise on your ant, it’s mainly just crunchy. It is disconcerting, however, to find a tiny leg stuck between your teeth later in the evening.
As the bravest gourmands slurped up the last few eyeballs, we were summoned into the Grand Ballroom for dinner (salmon appetizer, beef entrée, chocolate dessert). If that seems dull after those creepy-crawly hors d’oeuvres, not to worry – the night had just begun...

I hear that they taste just like crab. I have never had one offered to me but would try it most likely....
ReplyDeleteYou would too, pay back for all the times they have scared you?
ReplyDeleteI would gladly DIE before I ate a fooking tarantula.
I would not care if it is breaded, broiled, deep fried, boiled or made into cupcakes.
If I knew it was in there, in any form, it would not go into my mouth.
Not when there are so many other edible and appetizing things to go in there.
sigh
A girls gotta do what a girls gotta do.
XOXO

LOL.... somehow I bet if it was that or nothing you would eat it....
ReplyDeleteit was a brave man who first tried to eat a crab....
"KANGAROOS." Anna now who could be afraid of them ? I have see this before and am not going to try it no way, no thanks !
ReplyDeleteHahahaha I very rarely read others comment but I just saw yours

Ewwww..... Ewwwwww.....Ewwwww.....I don't think so!
ReplyDeleteI doubt I would eat it EVEN if I had the opportunity to squash it first!
I squashed a spider just a bit ago crawling in the hallway. Makes my skin crawl to think about them.
ReplyDeleteWhen we lived in NC we had these huge black hairy spiders...and as you would go to whack them they'd jump at you...talk about scaring the crap out of someone...I hated those things with a passion.
Just aint fittin' to be eatin' no bugs...it just ain't fittin'...it just ain't fittin'...lol
you SHOULD be afraid of kangaroos...those things are MEAN.
ReplyDeletenot a chance!!!!!!
