I think they’re jumping to conclusions. Most people would croak at the thought of eating them.

I damn well dare y’all to come down to Louisiana and tell all the Cajun folk ‘no more frog legs’!

I tried most of the dishes, but I couldn’t get myself to try the skunk stew or goulash or whatever it was. Someone tried to dump a load on my plate, and I skipped away from him.

Maybe it was delicious, I don’t know. I just couldn’t deal with the thought of it.

I wouldn’t even try sushi, raw horse meat nor frog legs. I have always been reluctant at trying anything odd looking. Heck, I wouldn’t even try pizza until I was in my early 20’s...

Has anyone asked Jase Robertson his opinion on this?

I’ve had frog legs before. They taste like alligator or rattlesnake. Rubbery fried chicken.

Had alligator stew in New Orleans. Taste and texture like calamari. Good. Had an ostrich burger. Dry and tasteless. Bad.

If I want to go for the automatic gag reflex, broccoli always does the trick.

I love frog legs but have not eaten them since I was a child. My grandfather introduced them to me. He had a small stagnant pond on the property just for frogs. Kids love to catch bull frogs so he sent me out one day with a tin bucket. After 20 or so I took them in to show Pop and then went off to play. Later, I went into the summer kitchen and there he was, frying up lunch. Asked me if I wanted some ( lunch) and there was these funny looking chicken legs. That was my interpretation. They were absolutely delicious. Then he told me what they were. I cried at first
but got over it because they were so good. Haven’t had any since he died in 1983.

"... automatic gag reflex, broccoli always does the trick..."

I like broccoli.
But Gag reflex? - Lima beans.
Utterly gross.
As a kid I was forced to eat lima beans at Thanksgiving dinner.

My great uncle grew them in his vegetable garden every year.
I remember my mom staring at me, and me staring at the
plate of those pale green things - un-eaten.

And I still remember my grandma gushing:

"Oh, the baby Limas! They're SO good!"

She liked them.
Not me. Yuck.

I had frog legs once, it was at a Japanese restaurant and Mrs Deplorable friend said it was great eating... No it wasn't...

Maybe Impossible could make a vegan frog legs... 🤓

I'll go you one more and vow to never eat escargot.

If you haven't tried escargot. Please don't try it now, you will kill yourself for what you have been missing.
