"bear" is quite often used a a loving term for someone very hairy... she has already said the spider is friendly...

To Calista, what is the difference between a spider that is a "little sweetie bear" and "comfort food"?
of course, with access illusionary magic and a need to be 'tough', the spider from Calista's lunch bag could of been something like a ordinary sandwich?
basically, the difference between a dog or horse and a chicken or pig... many treat their dog as 'one of the family' and a good burger or bacon sandwich as comfort food...
I will bet some of the bigger spiders will be bred for a good steak, just like chicken!!!

Deep-fried tarantula legs taste quite a lot like deep-fried shrimp (firsthand knowledge, thanks to a tour in Cambodia and Laos earlier this year).

Not as "fishy" as shrimp though...

As they say on the farm, "If you're going to eat it, don't name it." This reportedly minimizes the emotional difficulties involved in (e.g.) "Wilbur" becoming "bacon".
