Chef: I see here that you have item no 5 from many more countries now compared to last year.
Seller: Yes, yes, from many more countries and they taste differently too, maybe because of their diet.
Chef: Hmm these from China are interesting. Have their prices gone down coz last year they cost US300 a kilo why now only US150?
Seller: Oh these are from farms, the wild ones are now RM500 per kilo.
Chef: Okay, send me 5 kilos of the wild ones. These are for my choice customers, filthy rich buggers.
Seller: Okay, 5 kilos grade B ones.
Chef: What? Grade B? I thought they are the best? For US500 a kilo surely they must be the best?
Seller: Oh, so sorry, hmmm how do I tell you this. We have more expensive ones and since they are more expensive they are in the higher category in terms of price but taste wise I don't think you would like any.
Chef: What? You have more expensive ones and they don't taste nice? Is that what you are telling me?
Seller: Exactly, that's why they are not in the list but since they fall in the same item category, we do have stock but since you are my loyal customer, I would strongly reccomend that you forget about it.
Chef: Oh, I see, I think you have a new favourite customer and are purposely outpricing these choice ones.
Seller: God please forgive me if I ever have that thought, I wouldn't have told you about it if I had wanted to keep it from you.
Chef: Then tell me about it, at least to satisfy my curiosity.
Seller: Okay, they are not sold in kilos and there are only handful of them in this world. In fact they cost about a million each and these Malaysian frogs are very poisonous.
