Jugo de Rana, Peruvian Delight

For those of you who don’t speak Spanish, that says Frog Juice.

If you are like me, you immediately hit google to see if it was available near you. No, it is probably not. This is something that seems to be indigenous to Peru. When I was much younger, Joecartoon.com had a version of this that I discovered thanks to my good friend Jared. For a good laugh, click here.

The reality of frog juice is somewhat different than the cartoon. Thus, to expel any public myths about this old school health beverage said to cure all manner of pain in the head, I, your intrepid adventurer, have set out to see the whole process from grisly start to tasty finish. Enjoy!

As with all things, be sure to find a reputable dealer, as it is often difficult to tell if it is a toad or a frog, and the toads will make you ill, while the frogs will make you better. Never buy used frogs, as it will lessen the restorative powers of your juice.

Travel DO or Travel DON’T???  Your call.

  1. Wow. Brave! Good for you. However, I think you should have guzzled it down, especially since it is suppose to help your mind. :p the poor froggie. I am disgusted and curious at the same time.
    Next you have to try a frog dish. I’ve had frog adubo and it tastes like chicken.
