Yummy! Some people eat frogs.

I don't understand why you don't really want to link to that article because "disgusting" is relative. I never ate rats, snakes, dogs, insects or whatever but I'm pretty sure that other cultures look down on "us westerners" too for eating pigs, cows etc.

It's not that disturbing / disgusting. I probably wouldn't eat worms / insects, but
dog / rat / snake would be totally fine for me if it's cooked well (i.e. at a "good" restaurant).
I bet if you get it served you can't even taste that it's something like that.

Actually, recently I tried frogs. It tastes like chicken.

A Chinese woman eats from an ox and dog penis dish at the Guolizhuang “strength in the pot” penis restaurant in China's capital Beijing March 3, 2006.
The restaurant offers more than 30 types of animal penises served in a Chinese hotpot style.

Okaaay.
Thanks applePi for sharing this with us.
I think I'll pass this little gem on.

> "disgusting" is relative

To me, it depends on whether the animal being eaten has any actual
true nutritional value or need, or whether it's just being eaten based
on beliefs. Eating out of pure belief alone is disgusting and barbaric.

So, I don't think it's disgusting if someone is eating bugs to survive,
but if they're eating bugs because of a game show (Survivor) then
the person is disgusting and barbaric. IMHO.
