A RESTAURANT chain has sparked fury by serving up pizzas with a topping of FROGS’ LEGS. The “Hopper” contains eight limbs on a traditional base with capers and an anchovy sorbet.
The £17.95 dish has angered campaigners who slammed it as “barbaric” — because frogs’ legs are amputated while they are still alive.
An Animal Aid spokeswoman urged people to boycott London chain Eco.
She said: “The animals typically have their limbs hacked off while still alive, having been captured by the bucketload from the wild in countries like Indonesia.
“I cannot believe people are so desperate to entertain their palates that they want to be part of this vicious and callous trade.”

Pork Chops and Applesauce
Sometimes when opening my front door, those little green froggies hop right into my house.
It’s a riot trying to catch them!
Especially if I opened the door because someone rang the doorbell! ;-)
We use only the finest baby frogs, dew picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in 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.
Well sadly, we do. Lot’s of them!
We have a lake right beyond our backyard. Only a small road separates our back from the lake.
We are on the very outside edge of a large city, but we have ALL kinds of wildlife.
I fight almost all of them daily! ;-) But, I’m still the one losing! ;-)
If they didn’t assault my gardens and plants...they would be welcome!
The frogs are my MOST favorite!!!!! I love them! I don’t have enough of these little critters.
What goes around...
My goodness girl! That’s some great pictures!
We have the raccoons but they only come out at night. No moose though.
And yes I bet the moose does make some great stew!
But we do have the deer.
I see you’ve fenced your plants. Good idea. Hadn’t decided to go that far around here.
Folks that live up from us have fed the deer in years past and we have them crossing our property on their way to their day sleeping area.
We put up netting last year and it DID scare them away. They would get tangled in it, but couldn’t see it.
We may have to invest in more netting.
Well life’s grand, even though the deer do eat my roses!!!! ;-))
And the armadillos dig up my yard! LOLOL!!!
Every year my garden gets smaller and smaller ...good thing that farmer's markets are plentiful and produce is pretty inexpensive for the effort.
My netting is a little different.
It’s dark colored and very flexible and we wrap it around the trees at the back of our property.
We originally got it to put on our fruit trees.
And they can’t see it until they are tangled in it. Then that spooks them!!! ;-)
Dare I say YEAH!!!!?
We put it about 8 feet high and they stayed out of the yard last winter.
Ha! that’s a funny picture though!
