They say frog legs taste like chicken, too!

Yes, I have had Peking duck, and it is delicious, if prepared properly.

When I was visiting relatives in a southern state, the day came for me to leave, and head back home. They bribed me to stay longer, offering to fix ground-hog just for me, if I would delay my departure.

Of course, I didn’t believe them, until their teenage boy appeared with a rifle in one hand and a ground-hog (quite deceased) hanging from the other - and the biggest, proudest grin you’ll ever see.

He ‘dressed’ it, and grandma spent two days cookin’ it. And, I must say, that with gravy and mashed potatoes, and some just-picked corn on the cob, it was pretty good. Tasted kinda like chicken!

Are you kidding about the groundhog? Ewwwww!

I have had frog legs! I was very young then too, and my husband and some friends went frog-gigging. I can’t remember where we lived or anything. I do know this, they were very good. He would kid me and say watch them jump and quiver in the skillet and it did look like they did. I can’t remember if you floured them or what!

My grocery store has them all the time in the fresh meat department, where the shrimp, fish, etc. is. Goodness, lots of memories sure come floating back, don’t they?
