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.
