uy frog legs, nice topic.
naalala ko nung bata pa ako, sa montalban, tito ko may hawak nung philippine bullfrogs association(di ko ma-recall exact name). nag-alaga sila ng bullfrogs as a food source. dahil nga totoy pako nun, natandaan ko lang nun yung dami ng bullfrogs dun sa farm at ang lalaki nila. although di ako nakatikim nung bullfrogs, ang naalala ko lang para talaga silang manok pag binalatan. yung itsura kasi pareho halos.
nakatikim lang ako ng palaka nung medyo malaki nako. sa mga pinsan ko sa bulacan…hagonoy bulacan. dun kasi ang side ng nanay ko. amuse nga ako sa comments nung nabasa ko na may mga taga-hagonoy dito. pati pala si Connie may family dun. pag bumibisita kami dun, sa san nicholas kami nag stay. andun kasi mostly mga kapatid ng nanay ko. pero kalat mga kamaganak namin dun. meron san sebastian, santo nino, etc. namiss ko tuloy yun lugar. pag andun kasi kami, bine-beybi ako ng mga pinsan ko dahil mas matatanda sakin.
anyway, tungkol sa frog legs, masarap naman sya. may point nga yung sabing lasang manok din.
sa ngayon may mga nakikita ako sa palengke ng mga frog legs pero since hindi ko naman talaga hinahanap, or hindi naman kumakain ng ganun misis ko, hindi ko na lang binibili. frozen din sya sa chinese supermarkets.
reaction ko lang sa ibang nag-comment against sa pag consume ng frog legs na hindi dito ang tamang lugar para sa ganyan. may kanya-kanyang choice tayo, hindi tayo pare-pareho. kung ayaw nyo ng ganun, hindi ibig sabihin ayaw na rin ng iba. kanya kanyang opinyon pero hindi to ang lugar. kung magpopost para lang maging aware ang iba sa beliefs nila, wag na dito at siguro hindi na kailangan. madali naman mahagilap ang info sa net eh.
pati ako napahaba, sana may saysay.
thanks sa entry nato Connie.

Look Connie and all other readers who have responded to my views oh so maturely, I do not know of your culture. Nor do I know you. Therefore I have nothing to judge. All I know so far is your eating habits which include eating frog legs. It is a well-known fact in many countries that the way frog legs are obtained is cruel. I guess you could call not eating frog legs my culture and by telling me what I think is BS, or by calling me a “small nuisance”, you are actually disrespecting me and my culture when I, as I said, did not even imply that I thought there was anything wrong with your beliefs or your culture. I apologize if that was the impression you got but that was not what I said in any way. I do not understand the language in comment 30 but I can assume it is not very friendly as your whole approach to a differing opinion has been disgustingly rude. Your comment about fish being thrown into the fire is completely irrelevant. I fight for all animals I think are treated cruelly, fish included. As for comment 28, hi there. You’ll be glad to know I am still alive. And my terminologies are simply the truth. No blood or gore added. I apologize for not sugarcoating it for you. May I add that Paige and Yasmin seemed like young girls who should not be subjected to your curses or immature language. As for me, I am 15 years old and am horrified by you and your adult readers. You know what? I’d rather not deal with close-minded, rude people like you. You’ve simply proved not to be worth it. I have stated my opinions to many people I thought were being cruel and have never come across a response like this that was backed up by so many people! So you clearly are not mature enough to be open to other cultures, opinions or beliefs. This ‘little nuisance’ will now ‘buzz off’. Thank you for this incredible insight into how vulgar and bad-mannered people who treat animals cruelly can be. You’ve really opened my eyes. Bye to all my warm-hearted fans!
