Sanook Thai Caption: Delicious Frog Dumplings

 

Sanook reported from the Chiang Mai to Doi Saket Road in northern Thailand where a noodle vendor is cashing in on the cheap price of frogs.

 

Noppadol Janhorm, 45, the owner of the Tee Noi Ocha shop said that he spotted a niche in the market when he saw the locals raising frogs for sale.

 

Previously he put mushrooms in his dumplings but now he is chopping up 20 kilos of frog every day and his customers like the taste of the unusual filling.

 

What he doesn't put in the dumplings goes to making a delicious broth for other items on the menu.

I love frog soup. I’m sure I’d enjoy this as well. I guess some people or countries are just not used to eating frogs. Tasty little critters.

Now that's the topic of conversation. What is it that doesn't get put into the dumplings? Sounds like frog baloney to me.

Killing and eating animals of any kind is disgusting.

It's not so much the frogs but where or how they've been raised.

A few years back after floods near me I watched locals collecting small black crabs to put in their Somtam dishes.

Prior to the floods the grassy area was used by locals to allow their dogs to defecate en-mass.

I didn't succumb.

I think eating animals without killing them first is more disgusting

I don't get what the story is, frogs are sold and eaten all over Thailand. I'm in Pattaya and the local wet market sells frogs.

Frogs taste good, but too many little bones. 

I only eat the big big ones.  

Sometimes frog legs remind me of fashion models' long legs.

Sold on markets in an elastic tied plastic bag so that the poor little b-ggers suffocate to death.
