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!

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

I just came here for the cartoon.

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.

Eat the whole dang frog.

No thank you to frog legs. I still remember the smell of formaldehyde from my last dissection.

I like them too but, I wont kill them just for the legs and plus, there isnt enough difference in them and the little legs on chicken wings to make it worth the trouble. IMHO!

Where’s Pepe?

Import the brightly colored ones from the amazon, it will be sort of like a French version of Fugu.

Let them eat cake.

Do “toad” legs taste the same?

Something about this story doesnt seem right.

I lived in Europe for a while and as I travelled around I ate a lot of frogs.

Not once did I get anything resembling what we think of as a frogs leg. The frogs they serve are tiny little tree peeper type things. The hips and both legs are still attached. They have to be just to be able to get enough meat in your mouth at once to be able to distinguish that there is meat not just sauce. They seemed pretty much uniform in size suggesting the same type everywhere and likely of the same approximate age as though they were farmed.

Admittedly that was quite a few years ago and I dont know the history of frog legs in Europe or what has happened since but I cant be the only one around here that has experienced that. If there is truth to this amphibian apocalypse then I suggest that it must have happened long ago and if it wasnt long ago where did all those seemingly farmed ones go since I was there?

Here in South Jersey you can hear them from 1\2 mile sway. My brothers when young us to go out frothing all the time.
