Experts at Kent-based research firm Venomtech used a synthetic poison to create the same effect as the spider's bite.
Managing director and founder Steven Trim, 41, said: ''It's as best as we can manage without actually tasting the venom.
''It's a similar heat component that the venom would cause.
''I laughed it off at the time and said it was hilarious to do. Nobody has been foolish enough to try the venom.
''But we kept bringing it up when we bumped into each other over the year. We finally hit on the idea of doing a synthetic inspired sauce.''
