Well, spiders are not insects, they are arachnids! Pathetic attempt at taxonomy, I say! So, you don't really know what spiders taste like, now do you?

Of course, there is that trivia about people eating spiders in their sleep...

That's not trivia... its true!! everyone eats them and not only spiders!
you normaly eat 7 or 10 spiders per night or per week i cant remember now... but its those very small ones. Not a tarantula!! I saw it once on National Geographic and Discovery Channel .
