OT - A Spydernut and some frogs...

[sam the man..]

Aaaahh, if I had caught your attention... Here's the story.. Drove 989.4 kilometres to the nearest frogging site to savour the Giant Asian Frog over the weekend.. Packed my Endura, Millie, Viking Axe and Mora (thanks Vox!) for this trip, ate and field-dressed some really big frogs.. Its rather hard to get to these places cos most of the trail are off-road sectors.. Check out the photos and you'll see what I mean.. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

even more pix - My lunch, a solid bowl of steamed frogs with pepper dills, garlic and Nouc Mam, a kinda Vietnamese fish sause.. and the way out was a tough ride! Oh yeah, I think 'Fear Factor' is peanuts if the show producers see what we eat on a daily basis.. <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

You couldanswer a question that has plagued survivalists since the dawn of time:

Does frog taste like chicken????????

BIG-TARGET&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&quot;When young men seek to be like you, when lazy men resent you, when powerful men look over their shoulder at you, when cowardly men plot behind your back, when corrupt men wish you were gone and evil men want you dead...only then will you have done your share.&quot;---unknown

Frogs.. been eating them since... Ah, well, I grew up with such staple diet.. Aaaanyway.. Frogs taste better than chicken.. Fine textured meat like fish and sweet tasting.. you can roast them, barbequeue them, make frog goulash, frog burgers, frog pate`, fry them, sauteed frogs, smoke 'em and the list goes on.. The Chinese people here believe that consuming frogs actually purifies the human body's system.. That much I can say about frogs and frogs.. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Samo would you be upset if I linked this tomy Pinenuts forum????

Big game frog hunting is rare in NJ.<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

BTW, is there any place in Malaysia you can get Bone suckin sauce??? http://www.bonesuckin.com/

Oh!!! almost forgot. You should do a spot on &quot;Iron Chef&quot;.

Hi Vox! Field tested all the Moras and found that the small ones are the most useful cutting tools in the field. Used them to slice onions, garlic, chilli peppers, dress frogs and skin some small-sized deers.
As for the Axe, I give it two-thumbs up for agility and balance.. Whisked it a couple of times on the 204 to give it hair-popping sharpness and worked it on the bones and joints on the game that we've collected.. Absolutely wonderful.. Only stains a bit, but that's taken care of by some liquid abrasives.. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> I'm happy to report that the Moras are easily field sharpened but they don't really maintain an edge as good as blades with premium steel.. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Oh yeah ~ Big T! Sorry, missed out on your post.. <img src="sad.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Aaaaanyway, I don't think bonesuckin' sauce are sold here in Malaysia.. I pack a micro-bottle of tabasco sauce wherever I go in my trangia mess-tin which I have converted into a survival pack... Use this thread in tomy pinenut's forum? Ah, why not? Take it away dude! <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Good to see some pictures of frog hunters from across the globe. Us souther US boys have been hunting frogs since we were kids. Don't get to anymore but sure like seeing your pictures Samo. By the way, what in the world is Samo's job, if I may ask? You have to be one of the luckiest guys around. Sure looks like you enjoy life with that famous Samo smile.

John

By the way, frog doesn't taste like chicken. Like Samo said, it is better cause you caught it yourself.

[toothed]

Sometimes you gotta wonder if this guy (samo) ever works. <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> He's usually out having fun and making us all green with envy.

Another nice thread, samo. Thanks for sharing the adventure. Btw, did you get a waterproof housing for that G-3?

[dialex]

Thanks for the pics, Samo. As for those poor frogs... I think I'll pass this one <img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> I dislike even the d'Alton Toad <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Thanks for the kind words guys.. <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Samo-Gump.. *hee-hee!* Sounds interesting..

Big T - Yeah, I might just consider checking out the pepper site! Thanks again! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Oh man! I musta missed out the earlier posts..

John - Thanks for the note man! I was once a boy scout too! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> Them frogs just kept leaping back! <img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Toothed ~ Yeah dude, the G-3 came in really handy, but since I had no contact with water, it sits nicely in my New Sun Gear shoulder pouch..

And speaking about work.. the jungle is my office! *heh-heh!* <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

And since you're allready an established reporter. Submitting an article to Chile Pepper should be easy for you. And while your submiting pics of frog parts, peppers, and tabasco. Sneak a few <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0> pics in the with it!!!<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

We have frogs, but nothing like those monsters? Do you guys eat frog's legs over there? It's a popular meat where I live, but I've never had the stomach to give it a try. RKBA!

[sam the man..]

yeah dude ~ we do have those North American bullfrogs being farmed here as food items.. they are a bit tough and rough when it comes to taste and texture.. Frog meat is fine and sweet.. melts in your mouth like butter... <img src="tongue.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

Hey Big T! Thanks for the lead again! I'll try to submit and article for the peppermag!<img src="smile.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>

From seeing your <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>Catcherman in action in your other post. I'm surprised you didn't bring it on this trip.
It might have worked for you better than the <img src="spyder.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>Endura. And you're hearing this from a &quot;pro-Endura&quot; man!!<img src="wink.gif" width=15 height=15 align=middle border=0>
