I’ve tried cutting back. Really I have. Even flirted with the idea of going to frog leg eaters anonymous. Now they’re taking Juul off the market which was my only hope of cutting back.

I'm happy to say to this wildlife group that I've done my part by never eating a frog leg. I'm also happy to commit to never doing so in the future, either.

I don’t eat bugs, or reptiles.

This story has touched my very heart. I pledge never to eat frogs’ legs. Am I not virtuous?

There was an episode of Columbo with Johnny Cash where Columbo eats chili and doesn’t know it is squirrel.

There are no shortages of squirrels. Hillbilly Granny probably even ate their legs

"Frog legs, frog legs. Frog legs so fine

Hopper's is the place you should dine.

There's cheese legs bacon legs, chili legs too. French-fried frog legs, barbecued

If you want just a snack Don't worry. Then here is the one... A frog-leg burger on a bright green bun"

We had a ton of bullfrogs in the pond till the damned storck showed up and ate them. We are not allowed to shoot storks.

Prepared escargot is buttery garlic with the texture of a chewy clam. Most people are probably underwhelmed at first. To much fuss for me.

Frog legs are DELICIOUS.
They must be talking about farm raised.
I don’t know anyone that goes out frog gigging anymore so probably frogs in the wild are safe where I live.
The ones for sale always seem to come from China so I have to do without.

I had frog legs exactly once.

We were on a cruise ship going from New York to Naples, Italy (one of many Navy brat moves) and frog legs were on the menu in the dining room one evening. My brother dared me to order and eat them. He was ten and I was eleven.

I ordered them and ate them. They tasted like chicken.

No really, they did. With a sort of fish consistency.

I am going to drop frog legs and Juul, and start doing coke and having sex with hookers.

I lovvvve frog legs but my budget says no.

But all these frog legs stories may get me to buck my budget.

Dipped in lemon butter. Heaven on steroids.
