Interesting, I don't see why not I've seen Vodka's with Scorpions in it and I've had Oaxaca with the worm in it and ate it I wouldn't eat the frog tho :/

The site says they marked everything out of stock due to a problem with liquids and airmail in thailand.

I'm not sure what i would and wouldn't drink or eat from that website. As i'm somewhat allergic to insect bites, it'd probably stay away from anything venomous like scorpions, but a sip of whiskey with a frog in it.. why not?

As for eating the actual frog: I'm fine with that, but make it some roasted frog legs... i doubt it would taste very good after being soaked in whiskey (and i wonder how the h you get it out of the bottle, or how they got it in).

I've eaten some odd critters in thailand and around, like mealworms and bamboo worms. They aren't half bad when fried and salted really. If you are ever in thailand or around there, i recommend just giving it a try (free samples on khao san road..).

Ehm ..... with my allergies, i think i pass, thanks .....

(damn, there are really peoples that will do anything, for drink something alcoholic, perhaps ..... j/k )

Allergies could be a problem, though i'm not actually sure... perhaps any venom will be destroyed by either frying something or immersion in alcohol for a long time, but who knows... i often encouter these things while travellig, and i'm sure it could ruin a vacation if it goes wrong.
