they're not being fried alive in this video.

BBC Holidays in the Danger Zone team are introduced to a Cambodian food delicacy - spiders! Would you eat a tarantula? Watch this video in full to see if the Holidays in the Danger Zone: America Was Here team are brave enough to try pan fried spider!

The spiders are tossed in a mixture of MSG, sugar, and salt; crushed garlic is fried in oil until fragrant, then the spiders are added and fried alongside the garlic until "the legs are almost completely stiff, by which time the contents of the abdomen are not so runny."

The taste has been described as bland, "rather like a cross between chicken and cod", with a contrast in texture from a crispy exterior to a soft centre. The legs contain little flesh, while the head and body have "a delicate white meat inside". There are certainly those who might not enjoy the abdomen, however, as it contains a brown paste consisting of organs, possibly eggs, and excrement. Some call it a delicacy while others recommend not eating it.
