In which countries can I find spiders as traditional dishes?

Accepted answer

Deep-fried tarantulas are a specialty of Skuon, Cambodia:

How "traditional" this is is disputed: apparently this dish came to be out of necessity during the Khmer Rouge years, and has lived on as a novelty. They're not regularly eaten anywhere in Cambodia (or the world) that I know of.
