We've all made the embarrassing mistake of ordering 6 orders of spiders, thinking it was 6 individual spiders, and succumbing to a ego belly encumbered with as many as 36 spiders for sake of seeming ignorant of how spider restaurants work. And since it's usually a mistake made on nascent visits in unfamiliar cultural territory, we're already acting inured to the strangeness of eating raw spiders, so it's often a double-whammy. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] kakes@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 years ago And the worst part is that they charge extra for any leftovers, so you can't leave even a single leg unmasticated. permalink fedilink source parent [β] Huschke@programming.dev 2 points 2 years ago Thanks for the link!
