Grandpa I ate frog legs!

I went out with Thang to eat frogs legs! I ate frog legs before in January of this year, back home with my grandfather. We went to Hugo's Bar and Grill in Naperville to have frog legs, but they didn't look like the ones I ate this week.

 The yellow sticks above are baby bamboo! I thought they were okay, a little of a weird after taste.

 I loved these mushrooms! They tasted really good. I feel like everything I eat is new!

The restaurant where we ate was in the old quarters. I was the only foreigner eating there that night. It seems like I'm always the only foreigner is most food places I go which I love because to understand the food you have to go with someone who is Vietnamese.

This is the skin of the frog, it actually wasn't the worst thing in the world even though it does look a little gross.

There are many ways to eat frog legs here and we ate it in a hot pot. They have a bunch of vegetables including carrots, mushrooms, tomatoes, and others. I love mushrooms now! To eat the frog legs, you turn on the hot pot and put the frog legs in even through they are already cooked. I loved the frog legs! Again I'm so surprised that I'm eating all these odd foods! They were much bigger than the ones I ate in America. It was kind of hard to eat because it's just like eating wings - the bones are all still there. I was eating with chopsticks which I'm still trying to master. It was very hard to eat the frog legs; I'm just not talented yet at eating with them, but I hope to get better.

The frog legs had a lot of meat on them which was delicious! They were really fresh! I couldn't get over the fact that I was eating frog legs because you could make it move just like a frog moves when it was alive. But it was SO good! It did kind of surprise me that they would leave the feet on when they serve the legs. I ate the small feet bones! I will definitely come get them again before I leave next month!
