Eating tarantulas in Skun, Cambodia

While driving back from Rattanakiri, Stung Treng and Kratie, Cambodia, we stopped in the sleepy town of Skun. Skun is known for only one thing: tarantulas! Andrew Zimmern of Bizarre Foods went to Skun for his show to try the tarantulas and show how they are hunted and prepared in Khmer cuisine.

Naturally, I had to try one! I also got the chance to hold a live tarantula and was laughed at by all the tiny Khmer women for wanting a photo of it.
