Mark Twain said that if you eat a live frog first thing in the morning then nothing worse can happen to you for the rest of the day.
I know he was really telling us not to procrastinate and to get the worst job done first. However, just before I sort out my taxes, I wondered what kind of frog you should eat - boiled or raw. It's been said that you can boil a frog alive if you do it very slowly. Has anyone done this? How about fried? Should frogs be deep fried or cooked with the bacon? Wouldn't very slowly fried bacon taste rubbery?
Culinary advice would be appreciated. I refuse to believe that no Chit Chatter has ever eaten a frog.

I know you boil lobsters alive and they make little squeeling noises
If anyone boiled my pet frog alive i would cut their fooking tongue off and eat it |

How can boiling lobsters alive be legal?
 Never heard of boiling frogs alive. that is awful, too. |

Wasn't this an advert Mark Twain did for Cadbury's?

Not sure Makybe but i have seen it being done and they get kept in buckets of water in a frideg in restaurants etc and then lobbed in a hot boiling pot
|

fridge*
lobbed no pun on the old lobster |
|
By:
Keep them in the back, where the refrigerator is coldest. They must be kept alive until you cook them. Do not store live lobsters in any kind of water—it will kill them
 . Place the lobsters in a large bowl, cardboard box or roasting pan covered with damp cloth or packed with damp newspaper.no wonder they where dead in the place i worked after we went home and came back in the next day They where in a bucket of shallow water no lids |

I thought lobsters lived in water. Do they come out at night or something? I won't sleep now, I'll be expecting a Dublin Bay prawn crawling up my leg under the quilt.

Oh, the innocence. . http://bfy.tw/AeKI |

Yeah but they roam and hide in seaweed and maybe under the sand
 They can live up to 100 apparently we should not be killing them for 3 tea spoons worth of food |
|
By:
Gall that's nasty they cook them even slower than you would expect

By:
Lobsters and other shellfish have harmful bacteria naturally present in their flesh. Once the lobster is dead, these bacteria can rapidly multiply and release toxins that may not be destroyed by cooking. You therefore minimise the chance of food poisoning by cooking the lobster alive
The machine can knock a large crustacean unconscious in less than 0.3 seconds and kill it in five to ten. Crabs take four to five minutes to die in boiling water, while lobsters take three minutes. far too long this where is Kenny Mann or does he only love animals that can snuggle up to him |

Several methods are used for killing lobsters. The most common way of killing lobsters is by placing them live in boiling water, sometimes after having been placed in a freezer for a period of time. Another method is to split the lobster or sever the body in half lengthwise. Lobsters may also be killed or rendered insensate immediately before boiling by a stab into the brain (pithing), in the belief that this will stop suffering. However, a lobster's brain operates from not one but several ganglia and disabling only the frontal ganglion does not usually result in death.[33] The boiling method is illegal in some places, such as in Reggio Emilia, Italy, where offenders face fines up to €495.[34] Lobsters can be killed by electrocution prior to cooking, with one device, the CrustaStun, applying a 110-volt, 2 to 5 amp electrical charge to the animal.[35][36]

Thanks for the information, Chaser. I'm not sure I wanted it now.
 I knew lobsters, shrimps, etc were dumped in boiling water but I was under the impression it was Goodnight, Vienna. Not a slow waltz. Can I take it that you've prepared the dancing squid? |
|
By:
No never seen that happen in real life
The slow waltz like you say is a bit too long you can here them squeel but i never put any in that hot water EVER |
|
By:
No worked in a kitchen for 7 years or so
So probably be more live stuff roaming about. FOOK THAT |

If it's boiling a live frog I'm not interested.

i don't mind the Chinese boiling cats though so we are all good |

ffs

Chaser, you can't really mean that.

By:
why people think it's acceptable to condone any animal cruelty, is beyond me. People do that when they buy a box of eggs. So much cruelty about. Too many people don't give a ****.

Is this a new way of preparing Toad in the hole?

By:
Makybe yes i love cat foods in China i go over 4 times a year
See the comments people saying kill them first at least and the guy who puts video up is like do some research.I worked in places and chefs in the game dished out dead ones that died in the fridge over night.No one ever complained so i'm sure they could quickly do something then cook it. |

I boiled an egg this morning. I should have made a video of it and put it on Youtube. You know, with sound effects of the baby chicken cheeping inside. Maybe the egg rolling around in the pan as the chick tries to get out. It would have made a fortune from adverts before somebody got it pulled.

Royalties! My favourite word!
I think I'll get a battery-operated fluffy little chick the next time I'm out shoplifting. The ones that start running and cheeping when you shake them. A hardboiled egg could be cut in half with one of those craft angle-grinders, the egg eaten (waste not, etc) and the shell superglued together with the chick inside. Boil a fresh egg while rolling it round a bit and operating the chick egg off camera. A quick swap of the eggs as I lift out the one in the pan, roll it across the table and crack it open with a spoon. Would hitting the little chick with a wooden mallet as it runs away be too much? |
