But they haven't _always_ been considered a delicacy: http://www.pri.org/stories/2014-09-06/heres-how-low-rent-lob...

Lobsters are, once you get inside them, just chunks of very uniform "meat" that has very little trace of where it originated. If we could find two-pound spiders, boil them, and serve their cracked-open legs on a plate, people would probably be just fine with eating those.

I just threw up a little. That's pretty much my nightmare.

Really? I think it looks delicious.

Depends on the part of the spider. While you may not recognize where the meat comes from, if it's the abdomen of the spider then you probably would not enjoy it at all.
