Held \/ Between two sticks \/ Over flames that burn off \/ Leg-hair, the \/ Salty meat sizzles \/ And steams. \/\/ Tang and season are as \/ Foreign as a Visa card \/ Or an army helmet. But \/ Tarantulas abound. Crack \/ Open \/ The crustacean shell \/ For the jungle- \/ Candy. \/\/ An entomologist on CBC \/ Said you cannot compare \/ The meat to anything- \/ Not to rabbit or chicken: \/ Tarantula is to tarantula \/ As bullets are to bullets \/ And hate is to hate. \/\/ These people love tarantulas. \/ They love the spicy \/ Meat.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eDan Lukiv\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eIndependently Published\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eSep 22, 2019\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e48 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1694880109\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e• \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781694880109\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50365576151345,"sku":"9781694880109","price":12.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/files\/9781694880109__02908.jpg?v=1732476910","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781694880109","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
