I mean, it doesn't even look edible when served on purpose.



... and shrimp, crabs and lobsters do?  :P

The most horrified look I ever saw on my wife's face was when she got a tureen full of hairy, spikey crab legs at a fancy restaurant (she thought she was getting crab cakes). Looked exactly like scaled-up spider legs.

Ugh that time I ordered tempura soft shell crab. I thought I was being asked to eat a fried spider. :x

Speaking of which, never eat ants.  They do not go down well.

I think they are supposed to be dead before you try eating them.

Nope, that really was supposed to be a plain ol' bad of salad!

Wish I could get that kind of coverage for my my own articles  <_<

You could use this as an opportunity to promote Languish.  :cool:

Arugula in the United States.
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Woah. When I found a giant cockaroach in my Szechuan noodles, all that happened was my friends and I started calling the restaurant I got it in "A taste of cockaroach" [as opposed to its actual name, "A taste of Szechwan"]. It did not make international news.  :lol:
