my friend and I thought it looked pretty good and wanted to try it
After seeing the Human Planet episode where the kids in Venezuela go out in the forest to catch and eat tarantulas, my friend and I thought it looked pretty good and wanted to try it. This was nothing but the exoskeleton(being dehydrated)... had absolutely zero taste. It was just crunchy and bland. We put some hummus on it but then it just tasted like hummus. Also, I had black diarrhea for the next couple of days. I think maybe because the hairs were still on it, they irritated my intestines and in fact had caused some internal bleeding(causing the black poop). I would say I'm glad I tried it, but sense it had zero flavor AND negative consequences, there was really nothing positive about the experience and I would not suggest it.
