Okay for exotic meat: Swikee (Frog leg). Not only French dig frog legs, Indonesian Chinese and Javanese also love it. Swikee is a Chinese Indonesian frog leg dish. The dish can be served as soup, deep fried or stir fried frog legs. Originally a Chinese dish, this dish is popular in Indonesia. "Swikee" is originated from Hokkian dialect (水雞, Pe̍h-ōe-jī: súi-ke) sui (water) and ke (chicken), which probably an euphemism to refer frogs as "water chicken". It is sometimes identified as a traditional food of Purwodadi, a city in Central Java.

Indonesia is the world's largest exporter of frog meat, exporting more than 5000 tonnes of frog meat each year, mostly to France, Belgium and Luxemburg. Which is add to environmental issues on consuming and exporting frog legs, they are important to ecosystem but tastes soo good...

Btw, Balinese have their version of Prince Toad tale

[QUOTE=ndesopolitan;23075]froooggyyyyy

eh, I tot frog was haram for muslim -confused

Actually within Islamic dietary law there is some debates and differences about the consumption of frog legs. The mainstream Islamic madhhab (school) of Safii, Hanafi and Hanbali strictly forbid the consumption of frog, however according to the school Maliki consuming frog is allowed only on certain type of frogs; the green frog commonly found in ricefields, while other species especially with blistered skin is considered poisonous, unclean and disgusting and should not be consumed.

Yes.., my family is from the Muslim background, but we (thanks to my late religio-sceptic father) almost fell into agnostic category. Occassionally drink alcohol as a social drinker and have tried consume frog legs, well at least I'm not consuming pork if that count...

My Muslim Manado-Javanese friend even argue that Paniki (Bat) is not haram as long as the fruit-bat that only ate fruit to be made Paniki...
