"Insect cuisine" gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Yeah, me too. I once ALMOST tried chocolate-covered grasshoppers, till someone mentioned how the legs sometimes got caught in your teeth. That ended that.

Yet people who squeam at the thought of eating a cricket will quite happily eat a shrimp. Go figure. A bug's a bug, whether it lives underwater or on land.

Shrimp taste better than crickets, they have more flesh, and the medium of sea water is part of the appeal.

A mammal is a mammal, but most of us would shy away from human or dog flesh, too.

Not I. Shrimp are the cockroaches of the deep. I don't eat any form of seafood, actually.

The spider is not what bothers me; that pizza looks terrible.

From the comments:

I see only one spider here… I dont think it's spidery enough to be spider pizza. It should be “pizza with a spider on it”.

Sublime.

Agreed, Wolfdog. And since there's only one, why didn't they put the damn thing in the middle, so each slice would get a little bit of spider?
