whole or tins of legs?

Frog legs are quite tasy (if a bit pointless as they have so little meat on them) but I'm not sure I could eat a whole one, or indeed have the faintest idea how to cook a whole one either

Whole. If you ever get to Thailand it is quite common to see the street side vendors stir-frying frogs. Typically it's the people in the mid to the North of Thailand (E-sarn etc) that eat them. They are also quite fond of feild rats - basically grain fed rats that really grow as big as a small housecat.

I just literally stumbled across a supplier in Thailand for

Rabbit
Deer
Partridge
Wild Boar
Ostrich
Crocodile and
Frog

I will probably mess around with the first six, never been much of a frog person

Kind regards

Georgie, all the game you mentioned is venison(apart from lamb). To have a good mixed game try adding some bird be it pheaseant quail or even pigeon. You have jack rabbits or hares in Canada, they make an excellent addition to a game pie. Not only will you have a good texture but a wonderfull mixed flavour and not just different types of venison. Wild pigeon and doves are too good to ignore and normally very plentifull.
Hope this helps?

re getting hold of game I may be able to put you in touch with some shoots during the season (Nov - Jan) depending on where you live. you will find that most game keepers will sell you game after a days shooting. I pay, dependant on the time of year, christmas time being the most expensive, between �1 - �2.50 a brace for pheasant, similar price for partridge and �2 - �3 a brace for duck. These are all in the feather but dont let that put you off. taking off the breasts is VERY SIMPLE and quick. I can give instruction on this if needed. Game is a wonderful meat being low in fat and full in flavour and dont let the old tales of game being so strong it tastes like a OxO cube put you off because that is rubbish! If you hang game for a long time the flavour does get stronger but game hung for a week will taste no different to an old fashioned chicken
