Gerard Richardson In all the years I ve been writing about wine, I ve never been asked what to pair with a spider until last week, but the question came up and the curious (or weird) side of my brain perked up and got me into Attenborough mode. Well, sort of Attenborough because he rarely deep fries the subjects of his videos. Insects are of course eaten by people all over the world, except the West where we still tend to be repelled by the wee critters but apparently deep fried insects will be bar snacks sooner than we think as the world s population grows.
