Friday, December 14th, 2007

Are you fond of eating exotic food like snakes, frogs, reptiles, etc.? If you’ve been in Asia, you will see a lot of these delicacies prepared for you. But the question is, will you able to take it and swallow it if you know how it’s been prepared? I don’t know if this will serve as a warning to those who will dine to Asian restaurant and be aware of what’s being served or you’ll get more excited to taste this new type of food.

Be careful !!..It may LOOK like chicken but is it REALLY chicken ??

Procedures:

  • catch rats (i don’t know how and where you will)
  • burning the hair off them
  • washing them before cooking
  • cutting them up into pieces that simulate chicken parts
  • prepare for deep frying
  • well seasoned to taste great!!!
  • all done and ready to eat
