Not surprising for this part of the world, as insects really are a delicacy. The fried spider is a regional delicacy in Cambodia. In the Cambodian town of Skuon, the vending of fried spiders as a specialty snack is a popular attraction for tourists passing through the town. Apparently, it has more meat than grasshoppers but that meatiness comes with a price. The inside consists of brown sludge in the abdomen, which consists of innards, eggs, and excrement.
The spider is a tarantula which is the size of a human palm. It costs 0.$08 USD, which is a bargain price. Even if you never wanted to try fried spiders its worth a try, it will save you money as well. In the recipe, the spiders are tossed in a mixture of MSG, sugar, and salt; the crushed garlic is fried in oil until fragrant, and 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."
