I'll pass on the snails. Will try the frog legs though; taste like chicken, I heard.

Frogs from the rice field cook with ginger is very tasty.
The same goes for the snail. In America, they think it's gross.
In Asia, they would say, otherwise.

What's about lizard?. The one that found on the tree that looks like iguana.
Frankly, the meat tastes almost like chicken.

I'll eat the snail samimi. Happy is missing out. :D
It's not the best thing on Earth, but don't hurt to try something out of your comfort zone.
I'm sure they will clean it up for you, Happy. :)

Some things I prefer not to know; the taste of snails, one of them.
I'll eat some baby clams, one of my favorites.
I didn't like shrimp as a kid, but now, I love em.
I can't eat the insides of crabs, only the legs.
Never had the balls to eat oysters either.
Far as I go is medium rare beef, tried it once, didn't like it.
I"m strictly a beef, chicken, fish, pork kinda guy.
Never had sushi either.
Not a fan of seafood restaurants.
Never had lobsters, they scary, but I would love to try some.
Those Red Lobsters commercials make me hungry.
I will not eat turtles, bugs, snakes, eels, hell no.

You crazy?

Sounds like it takes you long to get used to certain America's goody. Didn't liked shrimp before?
Insides of a crab is good, if it's fresh and not dying. Oysters is good with some chili and everything else.
Medium rare steak is not cheap depending on the cut, my favorite.
I love sashimi, which is raw fish. Fresh ones are not cheap either.
The Japanese are healthy for a reason.
Lobster are delicious.

Yes, I'm afraid of snake, can't touch that. I can't touch something I'm afraid of.
My daddy used to cook turtles before for this gathering. It's really good with prahok sauce.
I'm sorry guys, but I can't lie. I know it's a pet thing, but I'm sure these are turtle for eating.
He bought it from the market where it's legal, tax payer people. I was a little girl, give me a break man.
I don't go looking for it, I can live without eating another turtle. It's all good.

I never eat rabbit though, I give them my respect.

I'm not a fan of frog legs nor snails. I'm a very picky eater. Even when I do try new things or something different my stomach will be painful later on.

Crêpes are a good French food.

If you like shrimp you're most likely gonna love lobster, Happy.
The texture of lobster's meat tastes similar to the tiger shrimp.
Except that it's more succulent, tender and sweeter.
Lobster won't taste good if it overcooked.

Lobster's egg and brain taste even better than the meat itself.
Some people think it's gross especially the brain.
Nevertheless, Bluebird loved it.:p
