heeeeey guyssss..

While I was in China in 2004/2005 I was invited out for dinner by some of my Chinese colleagues. When the food came around I saw what looked to me like cut up little pieces of chicken meat, so I dished some up but it tasted very strange and I just had to ask. Low and behold what I just chew and swallowed turned out to be frog..yugh..!!

I heard from many who ate it before that it tastes just like chicken..well..it surely does not!!

If not frog, what strange things have you eaten?

I also tried frog when I was in China, except they did not just give me the legs, I ate the whole frog! I think it tasted like fishy chicken. When I was there I also tried eel, snake and turtle. I always try to eat what the locals eat when I travel no matter how gross it may seem to me.

I have several times. I like them a lot. I think they taste better than chicken. I guess it depends on the person, just don't remind me they came from a frog..lol. I am not much for trying exotic foods.

Well you just haven't tasted the good ole American frog legs, they are delicious.
They are battered and deep fried, also hard to find in a lot of places.
Yeah, I have ate a few strange foods like chocolate covered ants and chocolate grasshoppers, but the worse was snails (escargot) Then there are some who think these are good, it's all a matter of what we are accustom to.

I have never eaten frogs. I usually ask what things are before I try it. I think I had some kind of bush dish at a African couples home not sure what it was. It tasted bitter after one taste I told them no it's not for me. I am very picky about my food.

Hi msplash...Don't "yucky" frog's legs...It tastes more than the meat of a chicken.We Ylocanos, one of the major tribes here in the North of Philippines, we cook farm frog legs as"Estafado"(like ADOBO- cooked with spices like garlic and onions with a dash of salt and pepper plus small amountof soy sauce and vinegar). In tTaiwan, Thailand and othe parts of Far East Asia, they consider it as one of the exotic tourist food served...For us it is locally available especially during rainy seasons.Yummy, love the taste actually.

In addition,pre rainy season where edible bees try to migrate near the farm crops(still in the North), we also consider them as a food source.My relatives usually try to catch bunch of it in the farm attach to some grass leaves by 5pm till 630 pm than that is the nights specialty food. It is deep fried and tastes like a crispy piece of meet. The multiple legs are being removed.They said they are one of the cleanest insect considered as edible food like the grasshoppers. Unfortunately, dont like to eat it...as I always think horrible swallowing some legs stucking on my throat LOL!My relatives love it though.

Other delicacies the locales eat are small crocs, farm rats and snakes...Now that is yaikkks to me!

Oh...I also forgot to include...dog meat is cooked here in a very tasty delight! Apparently, though it is banned now, in some areas, there are still restaurants that faked the cooking like that of a pork or a goat!

My Mom hates the dog meat...She said it is disgusting to have it as a man's food as such animal is mostly an astray animal here in PI, thus it is not a clean source of meat.

Hi mcjeannie, Philippines too? And I agree. It's culturally insensitive to "yuck" foods other people eat. And love.
