I don't think those are the frogs being consumed.

Rigor mortis can last four or five days? Um. I don't think so.

Nonetheless as much as I love a good frisson this is nearly too much for me. Dear Lord, the stuff of nightmares!

Just last night I was doing some research on food and ran into an article explaining how to eat a live squid without getting serious internal damage. A YouTube video of a very nonchalant young woman doing just that seems like the perfect thing to post here:

Unbelievable!

At one of my favorite sushi places, there's an option for 'live prawn'. You are given a net to scoop one out of a tank, then the sushi chef deheads it, peels it and puts it on a ball of rice on your plate along with a slice of lemon. If it does NOT twitch when you put the lemon on it, then it's no longer fresh enough and you can ask for a different one. Should you happen to skip the lemon and bit it upside down the the tail up towards your nose, then you'll end up with the prawn tail slap-slap-slapping your nose before you eat it.

That ain't chicken. One piece of meat on that plate looks like a frog's leg, but not the piece that's moving. Who eats that stuff raw!?

Strangest thing I've seen all week.

Pretty creepy, almost as creepy as what happens to a praying mantis when you drown it in a bucket of water.
