@Perentie It's not really a matter of whether or not the spider semen tastes good. At least in my opinion. It's what is more likely to be correct, given the setting, the writer and all of the previous work. After all, you're an eldritch spider, we have already jumped the shark past crazy town. My entire point just stands on the sense of taste being bestowed to the tentacles is a supernatural taste rather than a physical. Take the Akaname for example. It's called the filth licker and tastes the filth from a man. However, the filth refers to the man's demonic energy created by his condition and lifestyle not actual dirt and filth. There are many other examples of senses refering to a supernatural ability rather than a literal sense of taste/smell/sight/touch. KC elaborates on the hubby spider's tentacles with quotations around taste in the "even furthur notes" section of this page. He does this to let us understand that the taste the tentacles have is not normal. And why would they be? A common theme in Eldritch mythos is unknown powers that are beyond human understanding. Let us remember, those tentacles are not tongues and posess a "taste" for a specific purpose as mentioned by KC.
