Tadpoles - All dead - Why?

[Lord Bracknell]

Tadpole Soup

This kind of food comes with the rainy season. Before cooking, tadpoles have to be cleaned with water and taken the guts out from their body. You might wonder how local people take the guts out. They just press the tadpole's body until the guts come out through their anus. Then they are being cleaned again. The tadpoles, not the local people.

Tadpole soup is eaten with steamed or sticky rice. It tastes a bit spicy. Actually, Local people eats it with sticky rice. Sticky rice is the main staple food in the northeast of Thailand.

Wash the tadpoles. In a pot, bring a quart of seafood stock to a boil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add tadpoles. Simmer for five minutes.

It's probably the heat. It wouldn't have taken much of a temperature change to affect the poor things, let alone a sustained period of really warm weather.

I also gave them raw chicken as well as the BBQ sausage. They lived better then us.

Should've tried dropping an alka seltzer in the water, it may just have saved them. A case of Tadpoles vs Food, and food winning.

RIP tadpoles.

My sister did that once, out of curiosity, and the result was not pleasant. She stopped ripping after the first one.

Maybe they prefer eating flies and insects rather than chicken and pork?
