Love frogs…in the province my grandparents house was sorrounded with rice paddies and mt cousins would go frog baiting after rainy nights bringing fishing fors and a petromax, my uncle then cleans and skins what we cought the night before.
My mom would cook it adobo-style with lots of garlic and toyo. Sometines ginataan where she sautees’ garlic and onion,ginger and adds the frogs to get rid of the “langsa”, the then adds ampalaya slices and some malunggay and coconut milk sometimes a stalk or two of tanglad. Its delish!

That picture is gross.. Reminds me of my Anatomy class where we have to kill and skin the frogs (live frogs are cheaper than the dead-and-ready-to-autopsy frogs)..

wysgal, with a 12 hour ride ahead of us, no way these croakers were hitching a ride to Manila. Mrs. MM and The Kid would totally freak out…

You just took a photo without taking anything home? Too bad. I’ll try eating anything … as long as it’s not endangered and it won’t kill me (i.e. anything moldy, anything semi-poisonous)! =)

I am from Vigan, and before, my Grandma always has this regular vendor of frogs, I dont know, I couldn’t eat it now, I used to enjoy it when I was a kid, I think my Grandma sautes it in veg oil with onion and garlic adds some chicken stock and color from atsuete or annato seeds. . . but i have a phobia on frogs they really freak me out, when i see a frog even if its a few feet away i really couldn’t walk pass it. . . :)

Special reader request to Marketman – could it be possible to have the dangling frogs picture changed? Or atleast change it to black and white? Or just make a link? You see, I am compelled to close my eyes whenever I hit this page. Please please please?

I just saw the weirdest thing on TV today. A live fish was skinned, gutted and fried with the head held just above the boiling oil. Remarkably the fish was served and eaten with the mouth gasping for breath, still visibly alive. I personally don’t see the point of this kind of cruelty.
