Here in the local supermarket in fucking China, downstairs right, they've got like this live food section which includes fish and eels, terrapins, baby terrapins, rare long neck terrapins (worth 75 quid in a UK pet shop in the 1990's) and frogs so big you need both hands to lift them up so they can be scared and dribble their wees down your arm.

For the past month I have wanted to buy one to 'rescue' it, name it Oliver and have it as a pet, but have had no idea what non-live food I could feed it... Last week I wanted to buy the biggest frog there who was the size of a small chicken - one that is of course plucked, beheaded and befooted like what you see in the supermarkets back in the UK.

Now I have given up on the pet idea but have decided to buy one anyway as soon as one of you reading this can give me a viable and sensible way of cooking it.

I may really try it, it would still be a form of rescue, a release if you like - and I'd get dinner too! Even if I did release one into the wild, where? Roadside hedge? ...They are all probably too traumatized to live for long anyway.

I have a limited kitchen but it includes a hotplate, frying pan, saucepan, good olive oil, any seasoning or anything else I can buy and post a report and even a photo on how the dish went.

If interested please help or I won't be able to do it as it would be a waste of money and life if it went wrong.
