So Dopple-G had frog legs for the first time the other day. Surprisingly enough that whole "tastes like chicken" thing has some truth to it. He reported them as a bit gamier but rather like chicken overall. Then again they were prepared battered and deep fried so I'm not so sure he got a fair representation of hopper there.

I'm sure several of you are wondering "Why would somebody voluntarily eat frog legs?". Well, it's a life goal shared by Dopple-G and myself and many members of PETA (that's "People Eating Tasty Animals", not the terrorist group that goes by the same acronym). Specifically, we want to eat every animal.

I've had a couple that most folks (Americans anyway) haven't sampled. Buffalo, boar, rabbit, grouse, ant, cricket and horse top the list. I've been told that I ate quite a few other assorted insects and invertebrates as a tot but I'm not putting those in the tally column since I don't remember them.

Dopple-G mentioned that his gal has had emu and kangaroo. Mmmm...kangaroo. Now that's what I call a dish. Of course my thoughts immediately went to koala. I wonder what a koala tastes like. They eat eucalyptus all day so would they be fresh and minty like a lamb roast with mint jelly? Would eating a koala clear out your sinuses? I'm thinking that maybe that's why there aren't so many of them - people use them medicinally.

Got a stuffy nose? Koala burger!

A bit of post nasal drip? Koala tar-tar is just the thing!

Head feels like a balloon? A fat juicy koala steak will do you up just fine!

Yeah, I gotta get me some koala.
