This menu may seem weird and likely to only be eaten by someone "one sandwich short of a picnic", but all of these are eaten in various places in the World, see below for more details:

The following tarantulas are known to be eaten by the natives in their home continents:

• Theraphosa blondi (Goliath or Giant Tarantula) - South America
• Haplopelma albostriatus (Thailand Black or Edible Tarantula) - Asia

Both of these spider are caught and then they are roasted over a fire to burn off the hairs. I've been told that tarantula tastes a bit like prawns.

More to follow soon!
