The next time you crave potato chips, consider fried tarantulas instead, which taste remarkably like crispy potato chips. An average 3-ounce tarantula contains over 60 grams of protein while 3 ounces of potato chips contain less than 6 grams of protein. Even a 3-oz steak has only about 25 grams (or less than half) the protein of this tasty little critter (See 3oz sirloin).
Now that it's summer, it is a good time to find tarantulas in New Mexico. I spied this one (below) last September when I rode my bike to Madrid (see Testy Tarantula). I'm sure he tasted much better than the high-pro bar in the back pocket of my jersey!
