Frogs on sticks, anyone?
Apologies to anyone with a weak constitution.

About Me
- Jenny Beattie
- I moved with my family to Bangkok in July 2005. What do I do? I make hats and costumes; I’ve written articles, a novel and a non-fiction book is underway… I've held a variety of volunteer positions within the expat community. Tea stains is where I write and illustrate the things that consume me: life in Thailand, shop windows, books, cats, making, hats, fascinators, tea and the colour orange.
What am I reading in 2016?
The War of Art by Steven Pressfield
The Trouble with Goats and Sheep by Joanna Cannon
The Year of Taking Chances by Lucy Diamond
Mr Phillips by John Lanchester
Waiting for Sunrise by William Boyd
The Ice Twins by SK Tremayne

Aww, they are so cute with their little folded leggies and plump ickle botties.
Seems almost a shame to rip them apart with my chompers. But not enough - yummy - tastes like chicken.
Word veri = dectin (n), a short, thin length of spearmint flavour twine, used to extract frog gristle from between your teeth.
oooh -froggies. Have you tried them?
Sad. Guess that's why we don't hear their "phantom cow" chorus near our respective buildings anymore...if it's not that they've become someone's snack, it may be because the landowner who owns the derelict, half-razed house where the frogs used to congregate, finally cleared out all the wild vegetation in hopes of selling...
Bea, that's so horrible. And your word verification is a downright lie.
Rebecca, I tried French ones years ago which didn't feel quite so awful. They were only legs but the whole thing? Ewegh. No.
BEM, They've raped it, haven't they? I used to love peering through those gates into all that overgrown undergrowth. I was just waiting for some rain to see if the frogs would moo again.
There are some strange delicacies out there. Think I'll stick to tuna, etc. Mind you, wouldn't want to try eating that from a stick.
Strange, my word verification: dectic !
somehow lost my appetite....!
Wonder whether that's where T Pratchett got his idea for 'rat onna stick'. What are the wriggly-looking things behind the frogs, with the 1 baht sign on top?
Um, pass thanks. No, really, I had a very large toad for lunch...
Do you ever try any of these lovelies?
I can't help wondering where the stick goes... :0( Eeeurghhh
A "delicacy". *Barf* xo
Debs, hmmm, it's not for me. I get more and more squeamish about meat, the older I get.
Flowerpot, :-( sorry about that!
Queenie, you know, sometimes I think it's better not to know these things. (ie: I don't know.)
Denise, NO! But Husband does. He's eaten a range of bugs from the bug man and says they're like crisps.
Jen, eeewggh.
DJ, sorry, a bit repulsive, no?
