konkoo is not that familiar per se, but opolo is the word for frog or toad, not sure there's a distinction between the two, although there might be sha.

Toads are not frogs. The former has poison glands while the latter is edible

Toads are not frogs. The former has poison glands while the latter is edible

Opolo is not eaten, how any times will this be repeated on the thread?

Are yall forgeting your basic biology? Toads have rough spots with shorter legs and the skin is always dry. Those rough spots on its body is what makes it poisonous, except you are a skilled chef, toads are always toxic to eat, hence not edible. Now whereas frogs, they have long legs and their skin is always smooth and slippery. And I think they have bigger eyes. I wonder how some of you passed Waec. See why expo no good.

DeRuggedProf:


SAYS WHO?

have you eaten them before?

let me clarify:

African or is it Nigerian toads are not eaten.

Frogs can be eaten.

I dont know how to make it simpler than this, for those who still refuse to get it.

U're very correct..some call it oyon while others call it konkoo

Ifiam.

Ogoni people eat it too, I tasted it when I was young, it was fried and cooked. Our tenant begged us to taste it, and I did. Believe me, the next time he cooked it, I stole it from the pot. The frogs didnt look as scary as these ones here, may be it was a different specie.

tpiadotcom:


stop trying to mislead people, and that goes for the above poster too.

There are poisonous species of frogs, especially the one called arrow poison frog. These frogs are brightly coloured but full of poison, used as a defense mechanism against predators. Most species of toads if not all are poisonous.

did you?

Then we are on the same page.

Toktee:
if you want to get the best of it,cook it with egusi soup,prepared akpu or pounded yam,ur life will change 4 gud.

You are so right. Our tenant when I was young, an Ogoni guy cooked that stuff. I stole the meat from the pot the next time. It was marvellous. I dont think I can resist it if I find such meal today. Believe me that stuff tastes great.

Delicious. 'Yummy-licious'

Smoked frogs are a delicacy for some, but not all Benue people.


Philip Paul is a frog seller - and he and his wife and daughter love to eat them. The family hails from central Benue state but live in the north-east, where people are not so keen on them.

The 25-year-old says the frogs are so easy to catch that he grabs them with his bare hands. At night he puts a bit of bait on rope and when the frogs jump he just reaches for them.

He then skewers them on a stick. Since 2008 he has made a business out of catching frogs in Adamawa state and exporting them to Benue, where they love them.

Mr Paul dries out the frogs by the side of his house in full view for his neighbours. This has not persuaded them to have a taste.

Once the frogs have been out in the sun for six or seven hours, Mr Paul smokes them.

The frogs are classified by size. He sells a skewer of 37 small frogs for N250

The stick with 34 medium frogs costs N300 and the stick with 24 large frogs is N600.

The frogs are cooked in a stew with spices, tomatoes, onions and chillies. Mr Paul tells his neighbours they taste better than fish but they remain unconvinced.
Will you eat this?
