Has Anyone Tried That New England Spider Sausage?!

[Ghettoboom767]

Just have to ask:Has anyone tried that New England Spider
Sausage??!!


I guess it's a real barn burner!!
Was talking to co-worker who was from Thailand back in 80' and asked if he has ever ate
spider? And he replied "No Not To Good,Taste Like Nutmeg"!!

So I guess it's not to good I guess.
Must take alot of spiders to make a pound of sausage!!!!

I might try it if there was a .357 magnum pointed at my head by Christopher walken and there was a chance of shooting the people serving it to us like in the movie the deer hunter. Barring that I will stick to eating sausage made out of dead mammals. hell I don't even eat chicken sasauges . it's not that I'm close minded I kinda think if spiders were meant as a viable food source we would be eating spider burgers at jack in the box. There is lots of things that some people might enjoy that I know I never need to partake in . Spider sasauge eating is in the category of don't need to experience. I don't think that one makes many peoples bucket lists

Not that I'm keen on the idea but it is us westerners who have this backwards. If you look at the facts we already eat insects such as cochineal. Many cultures across the world consume insect and arachnids, they are very high in protein and low in fat, have little impact on the environment and are fully sustainable.

As our enviroment changes, population increases and economies shift I think perceptions will start to change. Intensive farming practices have started to show negative effects in consumers health and turning what was fertile land to unuseable wastelands, not to mention the viruses that are jumping across species and evolving beyond what medicals science can treat, bacteria is also evolving past what antibiotics can treat.

If anyone visits Australia it is a common "write of passage' to eat a witchetty grub and in the western world snails and oysters are a delicacy, it's not that big a jump to insects and arachnids

Just my thoughts

I found no references to "New England Spider Sausage" and almost all of the hits on Google for "spider sausage" deal with World of Warcraft.

Alright the part that the Thailand guy ate spider was true but I made
Up the variation of The New England Spider Sausage!!

It's just that you had to be there when this guy told me this as I was
seriously impaired at the time!!

I knew Bobby would do some investigating on this!
it just shows he wanted go get some!
Just kidding Bobby!
Have to tell you i was in tears when I posted this and I was in tears
Reading Bill's reply!!!

I know bugs have protein,hell I had a few in my days but I don'l
Like nutmeg except on top of pumpkin pie! I don't want any spiders
In my pumpkin pie!

I think I've been a little off my rocker lately-well been partying a little!
Bobby you'll have to wait a little while longer before you can try
this delicacy!

Ketchup up to 20 percent insects....
Peanut butter as well.
I can live with it.

Spider sasauge good for other cultures that embrace insects as main stream food items. As for the world getting larger and food supplies getting smaller. I will be long dead before I need to care. I ate a seal pie once and aside from feeling like spewing for the rest of the night I did not feel any sense of. Cultural enlightenment. I remember these cans of chocolate covered ants on the market shelves as a kid and thinking as a small child what a waste of chocolate. There is however a new England spider cake out there that has no spiders in it that's pretty good.

I'm happy people have traditions and cultural beliefs I really am.
I am also happy I have been able to live during a time where antibiotics worked and farmers used to toss some seeds in the earth with some cow **** on top of them and grow things to eat. That being said I don't think bugs are going to catch on with us backwards culturally repressed westerners. I mean slug bacon with spit bug jam on weevil flour brown toast is going to be a hard sell here. Until you have had to eat Inuit food you don't know what culinary terror. is I'm pretty open minded I like to experience different things as for eating spiders someone else can experience that. I mean people eat horse **** as a delicacy . I think they are insane to.

When Mrs. Fatdog traveled to the Philippines years ago, she learned of Balut. Also, she met some Filipinos who prefer to leave the fur on the meat in their adobong baboy (pork adobo).
