Crunchy Frog! Obvious Monty Python reference...

Who gives the quest?

Comment by stuffeh

Very good to know... can make Crunchy Frog (tossing Breaded Frog into the pot to make Crunchy Frog) while in a raid group.

Comment by kt037

the profession quests that grant skill points ARE repeatable, but would only grant skill points like once a week or so...

yep "5 skill points per faire week" according to the section titled "so you want to be in show-business" section on this Blizz site:

Comment by Necropenguin

This quest now suggests that you get the five Simple Flour from trade good vendors in either Elwynn Forest or Mulgore, so you should probably purchase a stack before attending the faire just to save yourself a trip.

It previously suggested on the PTR that you purchase them from an NPC named Faldar Willowshade, but this vendor was never implemented and the quest dialogue was changed.

Comment by candacegosh

will these quests still be available if you do the stormwind or ironforge quests that same day?

Comment by Ghostwhowalks

Do these profession quests have a minimum skill requirement? I learned Cooking and Fishing specifically to get some extra tickets, but the quests for them still aren't being offered.

Comment by Kosume

Requires 75 Cooking to obtain.

Comment by stickshift

For the Horde, if you do forget to bring your 5 Simple Flours, you can zone to Thunderbluff, take the lift and Shadi Mistrunner, the trade supplier, is just to the right of the tiny pond.

Comment by uriahworld

Alliance: You can purchase Simple Flour from the Trade Supplies Tharynn Bouden vendor outside the DMF Portal in Elwynn Forest.

Comment by WoWTheoryCraft

One of the new patch 4.3 Darkmoon Faire profession quests, you must have at least 75 skill in Cooking to see this quest.

Requires 5 Simple Flour which cannot be bought on Darkmoon Island so remember to bring some with you.

The profession quests can only be completed once during each Darkmoon Faire and will grant 5 skill points.

Comment by BEZERK805

Make sure your bags are not full!
Mine were and I could not complete the quest...

DO NOT throw (Use) a frog into the cauldron unless you have one (1) bag space to create room for the Crunchy Frog. Need to right click on Breaded Frog five (5) times to receive the required quest amount.

Before attempting this quest, you should already have some Simple Flour on yourself for an easy quest completion...

Comment by brionl

Praline: Next we have number four, 'Crunchy Frog'.
Milton: Ah, yes.
Praline: Am I right in thinking there's a real frog in here?
Milton: Yes. A little one.
Praline: What sort of frog?
Milton: A dead frog.
Praline: Is it cooked?
Milton: No.
Praline: What, a raw frog?
Milton: We use only the finest baby frogs, dew-picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in the finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and then sealed in a succulent Swiss quintuple smooth treble cream milk chocolate envelope, and lovingly frosted with glucose.
Praline: That's as may be, but it's still a frog!
Milton: What else?
Praline: Well don't you even take the bones out?
Milton: If we took the bones out it wouldn't be crunchy would it?

Comment by Shigy

Just in case anyone else is confused like I was the plump frogs have a bag icon not a frog icon. I was wondering where they had gone.

Comment by PortageLakes

I'm not getting this quest... I have the frogs and the flour and I can't do anything with them. I don't have a recipe to make them, nor can I click on this cauldron...

?

Comment by Dreadbringer

If your bag is full when you throw the frog(s), you will lose the breaded frogs but will NOT get the crunchy frogs in return.

You will have to abandon the quest, pick it up again, re-bread the frogs with fresh flour, make space in your inventory, and try again.

Comment by thirdrowshambow

You could also try doing Heroic Old Kingdom. Got 133/250 from just that 1 run.

Comment by Hammermads

First Dakrmoon Fair since patch 5.0.4 .. quest has been removed along with some of the other professional quests. However, the mining quest Rearm, Reuse, Recycle was available.

Comment by Baldulf

For those curious, this quest ONLY rewards overall cooking skill, it does NOT reward you skill points in any of the Pandaren cooking specializations. This makes the quest essentially worthless for easing the 525-600 grind (I had hoped to skip one set of banquet mats!).

Comment by Fiammata

Beware: If your inventory is full when you go to 'cook' these breaded frogs, you'll be running back for more flour soon.

Comment by rogermw

Fun fact: You can also toss your breaded frogs into the pot next to Sylannia, the Drink Vendor just a tad southwest of Stamp Thunderhorn's food stand. They will cook into crunchy frogs just as nicely over there.

Comment by rhyled

For an added bit of fun, face away from the cauldron and toss them over your shoulder*. Works every time.

* simply click the frog icon to toss - your facing direction doesn't matter

Comment by Wayness

Note: The Simple Flour has to be in a bag that you have on you. It will not work if the Flour is in your reagent bank bag. I tested this specifically as I wanted to never forget my flour for DMF ever again, but alas. It didn't work.
