The latest Batman film has been thrilling movie fans across the world, yet the only stir bats are causing in a remote village in Thailand's northeastern province of Kalasin is in a cooking pot. Let's find out more in this report from AP.
Even though work in the paddy fields of this small village in Kalasin means hard toil, the elders of Baan Toom Village have their compensation -- in the form of an abundance of free flying food.
When these farmers want something different for dinner they leave their rice seedlings, grab a net and a long pole and go... bat-hunting. Their regular hunting ground is the area's sugar-palm trees.
Before the bat traps are laid, a village elder chants a prayer asking the bats' forgiveness for the fate awaiting them.

The sleeping bats are taken by surprise when the net crashes into the canopy of the trees and they fall into the waiting net.
They call this species of bat "kangkhao noo" or "mouse bat" because of its small size.
They look as if they'd make a poor meal, but according to a villager the "mouse bat" tastes very good.

Phusanee, villager and bat meat lover said "They're good; fried to a crisp -- they're delicious! Tasty. They do wonders for your libido. If you have them with traditional medicine they boost your performance."
The bats are killed by plunging them into boiling water. Once they're dead, they're skinned of their fur and then roasted on a charcoal fire, including their wings and guts.

The bats are great in chilli-laden cooking, in particular the minced meat dish known as "larp". The chopped-up bat meat is mixed with fresh herbs, a little sugar and spicy paste and fried till ready.
But these villagers could be the last generation to hunt the bats for food. In this village the elders are the only ones who still love to eat the web-winged creatures.
Many of the younger generation think eating bats is distasteful.
Local teenager said "I'd never even think of eating bat. It's too weird and I'd be scared to eat it."
But the old men of Baan Toom aren't afraid and their plates are always emptied quickly. They say the meat is so tender and sweet, they just can't stop eating it.

That would be the funniest shit EVER!

The only reason someone in that part of the world would be disgusted by eating beef is if they were of the Hindu faith. Thai people eat beef and don't find it disgusting so when you said that they find it disgusting that westerners eat beef it's a fair assumption that you think they are Hindus perhaps. Either way your an wrong yet you call me ignorant. Maybe you should go read a book you brain dead idiot then you might not fail at "simple" analogies.

Uhm... that is hilarious, that you thought my simple analogy was a reference to religious etiquette.

I'm just baffled as to how you deduced I was even thinking of religion.

Let me "simplify" my point for you...

To the french eating a horse is normal... to the british eating a horse is disgusting.

Maybe I just should of said, "different strokes for different folks"

Ignorance indeed Longs81.
