A North Carolina restaurant has conjured up a rather creepy creation available to a few 'lucky' customers in the form of a tarantula-topped burger!



The arachniphobe's nightmare is the brainchild of Durham's Bull City Burger and Brewery as part of their annual 'Exotic Meats Month.'



The rotating menu features a variety of interesting selections, such as rabbit, python, and camel, but it's the 'spider burger' that has taken the festivities by storm.



Aside from the sheer outrageousness of the meal, the tarantula-topped burger is also something of a rarity as the restaurant is only serving one per day.



Customers looking for the chance to chow down on the eight-legged oddity must enter a raffle and, should their number be pulled, are given a mere 48 hours to claim their spot at the spider table.



Provided they eat the entire burger, which sells for $30 dollars, the daring diners will receive a commemorative t-shirt celebrating their feat and also have to endlessly answer the question of what the tarantula tastes like.



To that end, those who have picked up the gourmet gauntlet say that it resembles some kind of shellfish, which, we guess, is better than tasting like chicken.

If I am to dine on anything that crawls, I'd go for softshell crabs. They are great!

Do you like shrimp and scallops Herman?

The fruit brother?

Yes. That one. The straight brother is carnivorous.  ac_toofunny

Lol thats ok, I have a fruit brother too, Im the carnivorous one lol.



When I went to see him, the meat portions on the plate were so small.

People eat too much meat period.  Meat and sugar or salt.  Thats why so many are fat.  If a person is sitting on their fat ass all day (weather it be infront of a desk or being lazy in front of the tv) they dont need meat.  No burgers for their fat ass.



I like to keep more veggies on my plate and choose fruit fpr a snack.  When I eat too much meat, my poo gets hard and I shit little hard balls like how deer do...its no fun.  But when I eat my fruit and veggies my shit is soft and slides out like a pro.

 



A friend told me the opposite, when he went vegan, he shat deer pellets lol.



Btw, that may be true for some, but I sit in front of a computer at work, had burgers last night, and I weigh 160lbs lol. I would gladly cast away all meat, except venison, and fried chicken lol. Seafood I could live on if it wasnt so pricey.

What would you say if you were approached by a vegan fanatic who has observed you out and about with your pet and then sees you buying a hamburger from a burger joint and criticizes you and says, "How could you eat meat if you love pets? If you love animals then how can you eat a burger?"
