I have always wanted to attend. I fantasized myself being an intrepid explorer such as Osa Johnson (I Married Adventure).
I figured that kind of lifestyle would garner me an invitation to the Explorers Club where I could hobnob with people such as Sylvia Earle, Sir Edmund Hillary, and Robert Ballard.
This year, however, I am happy to give the dinner a pass. The menu, always somewhat exotic in nature, this year featured an array of insects and other arthropods.
These are fried tarantulas and the red powder is paprika.
Give me a good old steamed lobster any day.
There is more to the story here.
