I heard about that Chinese custom before, but not sure if anyone still practice it besides people mainland China. ... I ate a whole frog with steam rice before, Steve. It's really delicious esp with Chinese sausages. :-P My mom cooks it often. I guess a lot of Chinese food are weird to non-Chinese or even Chinese Americanized people, like swallow's nest, bird saliva, snake soup, etc. What is really nasty is the brothers eating scorpion/insects in Cambodia!

The meal consisted of sauteed ferns, wild boar, free range chicken, and some chewy meat which I took to be oyster or some sort of shellfish. Only later did Kan tell us that he had ordered a plate of FROG STOMACH!
