  • @margarbeast you know what?the tarantula tastes better! it isnt great but at least the shell crumbles up but the scorpion says too hard!

  • Cultural Moment: In Italy the dance the tarantella was developed to counteract the venom of the tarantulla. Once bitten by a poisonous tarantula it was believed that you had to dance the tarantella until you couldn't dance any more to save yourself from the venom. (Or so the story goes.)

  • @jozsefkacsa Ha ha ha that's good.You're lucky to have such cool Old Man.A lot's of ppl wouldn't let thei kid eat all that stuff because they do not know about different cultures and their customs.Did u guys ever tried Balut??It's actually really tastes good,looks kind of yawkee but it would give u a colorful Episode to"Food Oddities"with a bit of a Sock value!!! Balut is a Duck Egg with an Embryo growing in it.If going to get it get'em at 12 days old this way it has no feathers and bones thanx

  • @jozsefkacsa ooo i did try balut ! i liked it a lot!! but i ddint cook it right. it was still bloody:(

  • fuckin ell

  • whose trantula is that? the live one

  • @allicat1968 it was actualy a video clip we got to use. i wish it was mine though i would never eat a pet:)

  • Wow, I remember seeing people eat this on some documentary a couple years ago, my boyfriend and i ran screaming out of the room. You are a brave little man!

  • @humanreplica thank you!! i was for sure creeped out by it:D

  • What article are you talking about, Remy? I want to read it. Oh btw, I'm cambodian and I can't believe you got to try those before I did lol

    

  • @Max6851 i will send you a link to your personal messages ok? it is one mean article!

  • @FoodOddities

    whats the article about? i wanna read! me is little miss nosey! XD

  • @allicat1968 it was about my videos but some doctor in colombia said i was sick and woud grow up messed up:)

  • Where do you get all these foods!!!! I would love to try some can you recommend some websites :)

  • @doyoulikewaffles360 i got some things from edible dot com. that is a good one. also a website called thailand unique they have lots of bugs. the think geek! awesome stuff there like miracle fruit.

  • You've got the guts! If I saw one, I would like not even squish it! Ugh! Spider guts on the floor! I would practically live in the forest!

  • @88hunghung lol!! thank you!!

  • @FoodOddities Be aware: if you hear a scream world-wide, you'll know it's me when I've met my match... er, tarantula!

  • The legs are pretty good, but the abdomen makes me want to wretch. I actually own a tarantula myself, so I think I'll order another crispy T and frame it's leg on my wall as a constant reminder to my pet T what I can do to her if she bites me.

  • @sheba12312 lol that is a great idea! it will always on her mind!!

  • great.

    now im gonna have nightmares D:

  • @kittystar4 lol!! sorry!!

  • how are you teeth still white?

  • @snipesnrifles lol good question!!

  • I LOVE YOU REMY!!! I could never do what you do. and don't pay any mind to that stupid article, they're just jealous lol.

    Your faithful subscriber, Emily

  • @NintendoGirl89 thnk you so much emily! the worst thing was they had a doctor say it right in the article. a doctor! but i will forget about it:)

  • ahh! bite me will you? stomp, bake,chomp....mwhahahaah! i win

  • @MrSunshineinthesky that is right! lol! the bigger animal wins:D

  • does it taste like soft shell crab?

  • @dracolnyte you know what it really does! when i ate it i didnt think so but it realy does now that i think of it

  • where'd u order the tarantula?

  • @mbkc03 my dad got it from edible dot com

  • @TheFoodAdventures it was awe some i never tried that!

  • dang u got gutsss. i wouldnt touch that with a 10 ft pole

  • lol you were trying to act brave lol

  • @MsIloveanimals i have to fake being brave like half the time! lol!!

  • Also, my family (except me) was born in Viet Nam and my mom said the people eat spiders there! But my mom didn't eats spiders like the other people though

  • @MsIloveanimals awesome! i heard that vietnamese coooking is some of the best in the whole world. anhthony bourdain loves it so much. i hope i can go someday!

  • Hi Remy! It's your buddy! It has been so long! I never knew you would eat a tarantula!

  • @MsIloveanimals hi again! how are you?? i was going to eat a tarantula on nate berkus show but he wont eat anything too gross.so i ate it at home!

  • @FoodOddities this may be a strech but try human placenta. Apparently it tastes of liver and other offal meat

  • @peteyandjaydee ug! wow that would be so hard! i heard some people do cook it and eat it. i would have to prepare for a long time

  • in Belgium we have a cheese "kaas van Herve" in Englisch "Herve cheese" you must eat it with black bread and applesyrup !

    this cheese smells like sweaty feet, but is delicious in taste !

    Remy, you have to try it :-)

  • @trickie451 lol! sweaty feet! i have to try it! i will see where i can find some

  • @trickie451 ihope, when you eat this cheese i see the video here ! ;-)

    let me know please, i wanna see your face when you smell it !!! ;-) lol

  • Wow, you must be the easiest kid to cook for. :) I really like how you have an understanding of the culture of places and *why* they eat what they eat. Many people of privilege don't even try to understand.

    Good on your parents for being supportive as well.

  • @MissCatlady33 thank you!! i do like almos t every thing i ever eat that is normal food:) my little brother makes up for it because he doesnt like a lot of things. i do have awesome parents you are right any ideas i have they want to help me try. if my ideas arent dangerous:D

  • @Tokelau85 thank you!

  • I love how your parents are very supportive about these concoctions you have always wanted to devour. I hope you are able to grow up as an awesome chef! (:

  • @phmn94 thank you! i really would love to be a chef some day!!

  • Maybe you should try maggots :)

  • @Blueredbooger there is a maggot cheese out there i could try:)

  • This will be a good practice for your upcoming show. XD I'm totally freaked out with Spiders so I don't think I'll try eating them any time soon. Hahaha. You rock Remy!

  • @winxknight thank yoU! guess what i got to nate berkus and he said he coudnt eat any thing to weird. so no spiders!

  • @FoodOddities Hahahahah!! Too bad. XD... REMY WINS!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL.. I wonder what are u gonna eat now? Hehehe. Still, I know you'll have so much fun. :) Go Remy!

  • i was talking to a friend this weekend while out camping, about whne his dad went south america and tried guinea pig and tarantula. he said the fresh fried tarantula tasted like french fries, crunchy on the outside and fluffy on the inside like potato.

    he really loved the guinea pig, very sweet tender white meat.

  • @theliberator1 i really want to eat the guinea pig! 

  • you didnt eat the body

  • @zhaneranger i took a bite of the chest and gagged so we didnt show it. i have 2 more spiders maybe i can try again

  • Where did you manage to find a place to ship you a tarantula? You make it look good and I would like to try one.

  • @stompmyheart it came from think geek!they still have some

  • I ordered a tarantula as well as a few other insects that you've already tried from that same place. I thought they all kinda tasted like burnt popcorn? I think the freshly fried ones might taste a bit more like lobster. If I find one I'll let you know!

  • @RambunctiousTonster yes for sure tell me if so. if they are good i might try that way.

  • I would never be able to pick up a tarantula EVER. I can't even pick up one of those tiny spiders that never bite you. My dog is far braver than I, she eats them with enjoyment. *Shivers*

  • @stingray970 the part you dindt see in the video is everyone scared to touch it at first! even my dad was grossd out by it. but by the time we shot it we could do it:)

  • You have to try the fresh deepfried version, I heard it tastes like beefy lobsters

  • @takadi that actualy sounds so good!!

  • Holy Arachnids Remy, you did it! Your videos are priceless and soooo well done. Have you tried cicada's yet? How about a big juicy night crawler? Be well and Happy Valentines Day

  • @wizard1396 thank you! someone sent me a video how to cook nightcrawlers but it sounds hard to eat i think! havent tried cicadas but i have a shirt that says cicada burger on it:)

  • @FoodOddities Remy, the night crawlers are eaten alive so they crawl down your gizzard! I have never tried eating a cicada shirt, lol

  • @wizard1396 ug! i think the shirt would tast better than the bug:D

  • @FoodOddities Yes but the shirt is all starch and the bug is protein, lol

  • @wizard1396 lol! you are right

  • Did you try eating some of the body?

  • @4ppleseed i chewed on the chest part but i gagged so we dindt show it.lol! it was easier for the legs:)

  • @TheIntolerantAtheist i had to look up mre. that is crazy i love that idea!

  • @niokiniki lol! i am sorry to scare you:) it was the sickest thing to eat after i saw all the spiders walking around alive in thevideo. o man. horrible!! but it did not taste bad:)

  • OMG Remy, how can you eat that, your really arey a very courageous boy ;)

  • @lelib2007 thank you!i will tell you some thing secret i t is maybe easier to be brave on camera because when the camera shut off i can say yuk and gross!! i hated to touch the giant spider but it was the crazies thing i ever tried and it was very exciting:)

  • Aww, I was hoping to see you eat the abdomen, with all the guts an' stuff. Still, three tarantula legs is three more than I've ever eaten!

    That's some fairly serious snow you have there. We had a shedload back in December but it's now 50 degrees outside so hopefully we won't get any more. I used to love the snow - I still do in some ways, but now I'm older I get annoyed at how the entire country grinds to a halt as soon as the first couple of flakes fall. Don't know if Michigan is as bad?

  • @imbethondion yes it is the same thing my dad drives us to school every day and when the cars slow down to nothing he gets so mad! but by now there is tons of snow every where mountains in every parking lot.

  • and how was the abdomen?

  • @nephildevil i didnt eat the abdomen becuase i read allthe guts and everthing is in there. lol! but the thorax was pretty good.

  • @FoodOddities so it is in lobster and shrimp, and there they are the best parts, they are very similar to spiders

  • @nephildevil it is true they kind of even look like spiders

  • You guys got a lot of snow!

    LOL! Loved the screams as the tarantula crawled around!

    Even though I wouldn't want to try one even if it were fresh, I bet there's a big difference between getting a freshly cooked one in Cambodia- or wherever- and one that's been packaged. It would be like they could find a way to package a nice hamburger or such but it just wouldn't taste as good as one freshly made!

    I hope one day you'll be able to afford to travel around the world to try stuff fresh!

    :D

  • @RogCBrand that would be awesome i really want to travel the world.i bet the spider lost half its flavor just by bein packed up and sent to me.

  • @FoodOddities Yeah, it's like how when you're camping, a freshly caught trout, cooked over a campfire tastes a whole lot better than an if the trout had been caught, cooked and sealed in a package and eaten a month later. The documentary I saw had the guy in the middle of the Amazon, eating a freshly caught and roasted tarantula- off course, he might have also been really hungry at the time, which makes anything taste at least a little better!

    :P

  • @RogCBrand it is so true!!

  • wow Tarantula what well they think of next for you.

    look good i wish i had some

  • lol remy is so cute, another great episode! gross but great lol

  • @sebastianthe4th thank you! it was gross i agree

  • Wow Remy you rock!!!! I would never eat that, I think..........

  • @MileHighGamer thank you! i though it was pretty scary but i was suprised by how not terrible it was.

  • i would've been completely petrified.

    far braver than i ;P

  • @CrazyAmberRun thank you! i was scared too:)

  • u should go Laos and taste their food. they serve cow dung there lol

  • @kaykentucky is that true?!

  • i dont think people started to eat tarantulas during the Cambodian holocaust. Think about it. to eat one of these suckers. you will have to cook them (since they contain harmful parasites and hairs that can cause inflammation to the trough) these people were constantly working in rice patty's (almost 24/7) so its impossible to make fire in a wet environment. plus if one of the pol pot followers saw you making a fire, you'll end up with a plastic bag over your head. nice video tho.

  • @88pie88 wow i bet you are right

  • @88pie88 my dad say s we have to research better:(

  • yo remy, in your opinion, whats the nastiest food you've eaten?

  • @PNI2 i think it was the rotted shark meat. just the smell was enough to get sick from

  • Remy,  have any of the odd things you have eaten made your stomach upset?

  • @danlk14 i felt sick after achovies but it was only because it was so bad taste i think! but i never got sick sick from any thing!

  • hey win are you going to be the nate show or did i miss it

  • @444rr it will be after velentines day they told me. i will let you know!

  • XD Andrew Zimmard ate one on Bizzarre foods and he seemed to
