Doesn't look too appetizing

Yeah, too much resemblance to a big hairy house spider or tarantula.

It makes me reflect that history is full of either very brave or very desperately hungry people. Just think of the first people who ate crabs, lobsters, artichokes etc.

Are Rocky Mountain Oysters on that list? Ick!

Actually, once anything is cleaned up, boiled or steamed, batter fried or drenched in butter it's edible in my book. ;)

(And I love Escargot. I mean, who would think to eat a snail of all creatures? LOL!)

The most interesting cuisines come from cultures that have endured famine.

Just think of the first people who figured out that you first have to boil them alive.
