Asian Exotic Food

Have you eaten edible frogs? I have spent my childhood in the province. Between Cotabato and Davao we lived at the Firestone Executive Compound. Its where I spent my pre-adulescent stage. Our environment over there has a good vegetation. I remember having played in the riceland mud. My older sister and I enjoyed catching native edible frog with playmates. Some of whom that we played with were Expat's Children, the son of the Agro Division VP of Firestone named Mark. The frogs that we caught were kept in a used container from the rubber processing factory. It wasn't a big deal wether it was such a mess. For sure we enjoyed and we were able to catch around 2 kilos of frogs. Without us knowing, frogs were for eats hahahah. My grandfather who was on vacation to our housing unit at that time prepared us food. When he realized that we brought home our caught frogs. Jarraaannnnnn he cleaned the frogs. Cut each of frogs heads off, removed frogs fingers, abdomen and washed it off with salty luke warm water very well. Next step he sprinkled on ground pepper and fried it crisp. At first I did not feel like eating. It looked awefully yucky but when I learned how to eat frog I can atleast compare taste with chicken.
