Would you eat a cake with a (real) spider on it?

[champagnetrial]

I bought a cake from my local bakery. I just decanted it to have with a cuppa and a spider crawled out from the paper bag. The spider was a big fat one - the body was probably 20p sized and a kind of grey/black colour. The cake is a chocolate brownie (quite gooey). I couldn't see if the spider had any chocolate on its legs because it scuttled away, but my question is...should I eat the cake or bin it? (If it was a big fat fly I would probably bin).
I've done a poll if you might kindly answer. I hope I have provided enough information here for an informed choice. (Also my tea is getting cold).

I was also imagining a tarantula topper 😂

I would have eaten it too OP, any mini spider eggs/poo will safely be destroyed by the acid in your stomach 😉

I think all you need to worry about is how much chocolate he got away with 😂 but having a spider phobia myself I can understand your predicament.

Your spiders would leave footprints…

I would eat it, without even a second thought!

I’d slice the top off too, thin shave all the way round

Or it might be a twinkletoes. These are teeny but so gorgeous

Exactly what I was going to say! And then the first hint of wind I'd be convinced it was all the baby spiders hatching in my stomach 😂

Oh my god No ! Everything in the world that's touched something will leave some stray molecules. So you'd be eating spider fragments with your cake !

This is when you need the laughing emoji back🤣

Was going to suggest putting back in the oven to 'sterilize' it but see I'm too late!
I personally couldn't have eaten it for purely psychological reasons, having worked in a large bakery complaints department in my youth some of the things returned that people had found in their bread would make you all 🤢🤮 I'm sure we've all eaten something that an insect or worse has touched at some point🤷 glad you didn't let your tea go cold🫖

BURN IT 😱

Not to be dramatic but I think you may have just ruined my life

It will be fine. 😋

Anyone who’s a mega fan of Still Game will probably be thinking of Peggy’s chocolate Spider cake with a dead tarantula baked on top of it. 🤣🤣

Awaits news story of analysts being baffled by the sudden massive turn down in Greggs profits!

Same!

if the question is “would you eat a cake that a spider has walked on?” My answer is “Yes”! But not until the spider has vacated the cake.

You guys have made me lol. I haven't eaten anything since the brownie. Just hoping the acid in my stomach is doing its job and I don't birth baby spiders 😂
