Strange, Weird, and yet, Tastes like Chicken

Has anybody eaten anything weird? Weird and strange like camel brain and frog legs(that apparently taste like chicken according to Carol and Mikiko). If you haven't it's ok nobody blames you but if you have, KUDOS TO YOU! I think the weirdest thing I have ever eaten was maybe fish eyes. Taste quite weird. Well I have also eaten snails which tastes so-so. Anyways, I shall now tell you where these awesome weird food come from and maybe you can go and get some for yourself! But I'll tell you again i won'tt hold it against you if you don't.

Weird, Strange, and OK to Not Eat
BUGS- Yes, I said bugs. Many people have been eating bugs for a long time. Asia, Africa, Australia, and Latin America have been eating bugs because they are healthy and are practically free. Bugs have no fat and are high on protein.

Mealworm Munchies Munchies:
First, buy some live mealworms from a pet store. Put them in a sieve and wash them thoroughly with water. Freeze them overnight to kill them. Next, get an adult to fry them in a little oil until they're cooked--about five minutes.

Frog Legs Recipe:
Frog legs generally come in pairs with the legs hooked at the top. They look like little britches. It’s best to cut them and make two little frog leg drumettes, because they’re easier to cook when separated.

After the frog legs are cut into separate pieces, put them in a brown paper bag with a cup of plain flour, a tsp of salt and a tsp of pepper. This is enough to make 8 to 10 little frog leg drums. Just add if you’re cooking a lot..

Put the bag in the refrigerator for 20 minutes of so. This makes the breading stick. The brown paper bag absorbs some moisture, and this method is the best I’ve found for breading fried foods. It’s fine for vegetables as well as frog legs.

Heat a thin layer of oil in a frying pan (around a half inch of oil) to 350 degrees F. I like to use a long electric skillet, so I can cook all the legs at once. They can also be done in batches.

Brown the legs on one side. Do not turn them too soon, or the batter will fall off and stick. You can see around the edges when the browning is right. Then, flip them over and brown the under side.

It doesn’t take long to fry frog legs. They are smaller than chicken legs and the meat is softer. I’d estimate that it takes about half as long to fry up frog legs. That’s nice too.

As the frog legs are done, place them on a plate covered with paper towels. This absorbs any excess oil.
You can serve frog legs with various sauces, but again I think they are so tasty that it’s a real shame to do anything that masks the taste of the meat.

Food Ya Don't Like.....

You take a deep breath and EAT!

We all don't like some kind of food but sometimes we just got to eat it. So we have some tips to eating food you don't like.

The Almighty (Polite and Clean)Tips on How To Eat Food You Don't Like:

Tip 1:: You say to yourself it tastes like nothing or taste like the food you like and if it helps you can close your eyes, just chew and swallow. Like how you take medicine. You get it over with because spitting it out isn't polite.

Tip 2::You, yes, take a deep breath but hold your breath from your nose so you can't taste what you are eating just breath from your mouth.

Tip 3:: Eat, chew, drink lots of water to get rid of the taste but try to not be too noticeable about the drinking water part.(<----- simplest one if you can act good!) Tip 4:: After you ate what you think you could tell the people around you that you are full and either wrap it up to save later for someone or give it to another person to eat so you won't be wasting food. Tip 5:: Eat it with other food. Lots of other food so you won't taste the taste. Only the taste of the food you like. The Almighty (Imaginative and Not So Clean) Tips on How To Eat Food You Don't Like:

Tip 1:: After you taste it and you don't like it and your parents say eat more tell them "Cook it better than I'll eat more." with this face -.-

Tip 2:: Have lots of tissue planted on your lap so when you don't like the food you are able to put the food in your lap and then excuse yourself to the restroom to throw away the food or flush it down the toilet but be careful about the toilet part, you wouldn't want to clog it up. And make sure no one can see the food in the trash can.

Tip 3::GET A DOG OR SOME KIND OF WILD EATING MACHINE!! You can feed it under the table but I advise you not to feed all the table scraps to the dogs or any other kind of pet because then it can make them sick or they might not eat the pet food. It's easier to just get a wild eating amchine that won't get sick and raise up your pet bills. Watch out to not feed your pet or wild eating machine a bone!!! It gets dangerous!

Tip 4:: When your sibling or relative isn't looking, quickly put all your food you won't be able to eat on their plate so you wouldn't have to eat anything. Make sure they won't be suspicious about anything OK!

The Oh-So-Awesome Stars!

* Number one rule for all foods you don't like: you must make sure you dont have a disgusted face on so the person who made or bought the food wouldn't be hurt. Dont think you dont make
the face because you could do it unconsciously!*

*Also remember to eat your veges(even if you might not like it) and fruits because you need to grow for all you short people out there! Also, even if your tall you still gotta eat it cuz' our mum's told us to....unfortunately....*

*Oh and another thing. If you didn't taste it yet and you don't really KNOW if you like it or not, us Food Officers will come and force it down your throat >)*

*OK , the last thing! After you eat, thank the person who made the food or the person who bought it so they know you appreciated it and won't get the wrong idea that you didn't like it!*

the beginning of food

Food is what we need to survive in this world, as well as water, oxygen, and shelter but who can live without food?!! We also need it to stay healthy which is the jobs of vegetables and fruits. I mean food should be everyone's priority in thier lives, then the other special stuff like family and all that you think is important. We eat it everyday, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and the snack time(dont forget about snack time). This blog will be about food that i like, will want to try, recipes of the food, and anything anyone might want to hear about food. It will be all different kinds of food from different cultures and dont be afraid to try anything you might end up liking it alot.
