Eating Frogs

If you don't like listening to frogs, why not try eating 'em instead?  Some people find the idea a little off-putting, but Malaysia is just the place to overcome that squeamishness...

It can be difficult to describe an unusual type of meat without resorting to the old 'tastes like chicken' fallback.  This is generally applied to anything from bats to boa constrictors, but in fact it often really refers to a lack of distinct taste.

This Is What It Sounds Like, When Frogs Cry

They probably aren't really crying.  In fact, these guys sound quite cheerful as you can hear in the video below.

When I first heard these frogs, my initial thought was that a variety of Malaysian Elk had somehow wandered into a storm drain.  Realising that this was nonsensical, I then mused that perhaps cows were smaller here and had chosen the drains as a grazing spot.  I'll be honest with you and admit that the natural world is not my field of expertise.
