Tarantula Cocktails are all the Rage in Cambodia
Michael Hines — June 16, 2010 — World
Just the thought of Tarantula Cocktails makes my skin crawl. These shots are made with rice wine, jack fruit and a live tarantula.
The tarantula is said to help your heart and also to act as an aphrodisiac. I'd rather take an aspirin and eat some oysters than chug a few Tarantula Cocktails. To each their own though. Check out the pictures above if you're in need of some goosebumps. No buzz is worth a spider bite if you ask me, but people in Cambodia can't get enough.
