Edwards contacted Costco where she bought the bananas. She says the store told her spiders sometimes arrive in banana shipments. Costco offered to credit her purchase.

And undoubtedly charge her $7.99 a pound for a Central American native tribal delicacy.

But, like everything else, we have to American-ize the cuisine.

Bun, pickles, french fries, etc.

It wasn't that big, but I sure have seen a lot of huge wierd spiders in boxes of bananas I opened while working food service in college. Big ugly suckers, and no I didn't eat them.
