Frog-gigging

[kirinke]

You'll have a harder time getting support behind fairy giggin'. Just not enough meat on a fairy. I mean frogs are slim enough (bones and all), but you can't feed a lot people off fairy giggin'.

BTW I was watching that show on Travel Channel--Bizarre Foods? where basically the guy travels and eats strange stuff. If you are a frog--don't get gigged in Japan. They eat all of you, including your still-beating heart. I won't mention what delicate body part they skewered and steamed. It makes sedarfairy's plan seem down-right tame.

Well, aren't those the guys that consider bird's nests with the bird's egg still in it to be some sort of weird delicacy?

I'm not sure about Japanese cuisine, but I'm Chinese and grew up drinking a lot of bird's nest soup. We also had a slew of strange smelling concoctions around the house--my grandmother's father and grandfather were doctors of herbal medicine and she sort of mixed and matched her own remedies from memory.

IIRC, the show I was watching sad the Japanese name for it translated to grotesque food. It has many courses, but the one that related to frogs was (1)peeling the frog's skin from its body and dismembering it quickly so that you can eat the still beating heart (2)eating the meat sashmi style (3)eating the steamed skewered testicles of the frog (4) drinking a broth made from the skin of the frog and "other parts"

Like I said, giggin doesn't sound too bad.

Ahh. I knew it had to be either the Chinese or the Japanese. I'm not saying anything bad about it, I mean down south we have a neat little thing called Chitlins, which are basically fried up intestine. Never had it, never will lemme tell ya. I refuse to partake of anything that moved um feces through it. Lol

my dad is a health food nut, as is my 12 year old daughter, so don't talk to me about weird stuff...never ever drink flax oil straight. just a warning from experience.

Ooo. Here's another gross thing Southerners do, well mostly Cajuns, but they're Southerners..... Crawdads.

Yup Crawdads. Basically they're water bugs. What they do is steam em up with veggies and spices, then crack them open at the place where the head meets the rest of the body. They suck out the brains, then pick out the meat from the rest of the body of the bug.

Ewww.

(I know the two of ya are from Texas like me, but there are other posters here who simply don't know about the weird food of the South. We simply must educate them. )

Joe went to school in New Orleans and many a crawlfish boil did he eat at.

I also grew up southern (dallas), and when I went to college I didn't think there was any other way of cooking except panfrying. Well, that's not true. I *knew* there are other methods of cooking and how to cook using them, but when it came to cook dinner, I went into auto pilot and pan-fried it.

I'm seeing a trend... Stalkers with the intent to gig their prey all come from the south. Coincidence? I think not.
