I love frog legs when they're cooked properly.

You two are demented, truly, totally demented if not prone to exageration and prose.
I always thought Americans enjoyed a higher standard of living and a fairly decent diet although I'm beginning to wonder.
Yes, this thread is heart related causing a loss of appetite, palpitations, arrythmia, heart attack, cardiac arrest. Have I missed anything?
Happy Valentines Day. I'm off to consume a pound of anxiety soothing, unsnakelike looking chocolate.

Lance, actually..
Lance, actually..
...I wasn't exaggerating. But that was the only rattlesnake I've ever eaten.
But there's an airport where my husband flies to sometimes up near Long Beach and there is an Asian restaurant there at the airport and they have an entire page of cooked insects on their menu, including tarantulas and scorpions and just about any kind of bug you might want. UGH!!! I think I'd have to be pretty hungry to eat a bug. With or without lemon caper sauce.
BTW, lemon caper sauce is one of my favorite toppings for pan seared calamari steak. Um, yum!!!

Norma, I have a relative who was doing volunteer work in a foreign country and one night they were served fried caterpillars. She couldn't eat them. The next day, the resourceful cook did what all resourceful cooks do, and put the leftover caterpillars in the stew!!! Double Yuck!
Yuck indeed! Sometimes I watch (whenever I can stomach it, which isn't very often...) that whacky guy on TV that travels all over the world eating all sorts of yucky stuff! He must have an iron stomach! All I know is that I would probably starve to death!!

I fried frog's legs once - had to hold onto the lid to keep them in the pan.
This thread is one I have trouble with because I have an unnatural fear of snakes of all kinds.
They have no snakes at all in Ireland. Maybe a move there is in order to cure me.
Alligator? Served in Florida. Heard it's tough.
We stick to chicken.

Insects seem to be where I draw the line. In my head, I know I shouldn't, but I've never been tempted by a plump, juicy maggot, or a fuzzy, fried caterpillar.
Susan,
When she "country fried" the timber rattler, did she have a lot of oil in the pan? I know that our neighbors up north like to cook some types of fish in a goodly amount of hot oil, and the bones seem to melt somehow in the process. I tend to cook in a pan with very little oil, so I do deal with the bones.
I know the rattlers I've had did have the bones to contend with, but they were cooked differently. So I'm wondering if that's how she did away with them bones, them bones, them rib bones...
Best wishes,
Susan,

She used a bit of oil, bacon grease actually, but not like a deep-fat fry.tobagotwo said:Insects seem to be where I draw the line. In my head, I know I shouldn't, but I've never been tempted by a plump, juicy maggot, or a fuzzy, fried caterpillar.

I think there weren't any bones in these because of the way my brother cut those hunks off the snake. I had no idea a rattlesnake could get that big around; he had a lot of meat on him and he was consistently rotund so I don't think it was just from him recently snacking on a stray barnyard critter
(which there was no evidence of anyway - and there were no new calves missing ).Fried insects might be something I would consider trying, from a very clean restaurant, but not at an airport... and NOT tarantulas or scorpions... Maybe a simple chocolate covered fried grasshopper or something... Then again, maybe not... (Did anyone else see the deleted airplane scene in Steve Martin's Pink Panther? It's hysterical!)

Just makes you want to order sushi from the rear coach section of an overcrowed international flight ...
Even better than frog legs ...

You can find it in the Menu section of the DVD; go to Special Features; then Deleted Scenes; then click on "More" to go to the second screen of deleted scenes; and click on "Clouseau Has a Bad Flight," third from the bottom.Ross said:
