I suppose it’s a waste of time to suggest that Swaziland start farming frogs.

No shortage round here.

When I was kid, Mrs. Paul’s used to sell them. YUM!

I wish they would eat more snails—we have lots to sell to them—too many.

Hard to believe when you see how many eggs just one can lay.

"Waiter - there are snails on her plate. Now get them out of here before she sees them! You would think that in a fancy restaurant at these prices you could keep the snails off the food! There are so many snails there you can't even see the food! Now take those away and bring us those melted cheese sandwich appetizers you talked me out of!"

They can feed the frogs the bugs they want us to eat.

Isn’t there an imported frog in Australia that’s killing off the native species?

Get them and it’s a win win.

I had to come to America to eat my first frog legs in Brownsville, TX and follow it up with delicious cabrito and dove.
