Hey, seems strange to me how "they" can stop the spread of a virus/disease but not a toad ?

i ate some species of large frog in cambodia.. apart from being quite nice, it actually seriously tasted just like a mixture of fish & chicken, sorry but its true!

i think it is ridiculous that no australians have tapped the chinese market yet, apparently is very sought after meat over there. i don't blame them, is damn good food. a toad looks more appetizing than a mcdonald burger any day..

gtarman, you're a wuss, don't take it personally though, so are most people in our plastic wrapped culture.. i bet you, if you ever had the opportunity to actually be hungry, one of those tender juicy drumsticks, skinned & all nice & chargrilled on a barbeque, your mouth would be watering.

To be honest para, it actually is a little offensive to call somebody a wussy product of a plastic-wrapped culture when all they've done is voice an opinion...I'm not going to get pissy about it, but just try keep in mind that saying "no offense" or "don't take it personally" doesn't mean carte blanche to say something offensive.

FWIW cane toads are simply a disgusting animal in my eyes, having spent a lot of time around them and observed their traits and habits. I (and many others, I might add) have the same aversion to them as to cockroaches, flies, rats etc.

I understand different people and cultures might feel differently about these particular animals, but I'm not one of those people - or from one of those cultures. I generally refrain from passing blanket judements on people who are though.

Fair enough man, I was just teasing but I know that's not a good excuse. We're all products of that culture, that's just the way it is Isn't it? I get what you're saying, I was just pointing out that you may be making a bit of a blanket judgement about the toads perhaps ; )

Well i'm keen to try toad legs.

And i know for a fact that rats while a tad fiddly with all the bones are first class fair. Organic ones of course, wouldn't trust the wild ones, living in all that human filth and all.

The bones are easily dealt with - do as teh vietnames do - grind the bones to paste with the meat :), toads yumm :) The worst i have eaten is sea cucumber, like slime no flavor , but i ate it...

I also ate frogs legs in Cambodia but I think the frog was caught in the dirty polluted river next to the place I ate them. Fish/chicken + toilet water... Fuck we have it good in Australia

The meat would have been safe till it was washed?? If it was washed.
