'The Jungle Foots') is a district (srok) of Kampong Cham province, Cambodia.
The practice of eating spiders in Cheung Prey began under the Democratic Kampuchea regime in Cambodia.
Eating spiders and other insects helped locals starving from the harsh policies of the Khmer Rouge.
Now that local residents have acquired the taste, the fame of the crunchy spiders has spread and people travel from Phnom Penh just to sample the deep fried arachnae.
