The French aren’t the only “frog eaters” in Europe.
Frog legs are a delicacy in some parts of Southern Europe, including my place.
Unfortunately, I never got the chance to eat local frogs. I doubt the ones Chinese restaurants serve are local. They’re frozen, and likely to be imported. They’re good nevertheless.
Personal fact: I managed to catch two frogs barehanded in a pond when I was about 8. I released them immediately, of course. I don’t remember how long it took, but I was very proud. This technique isn’t the smartest, but who cares. I had fun.
For those who have never eaten frog, the common eaten part is the leg and they taste like chicken, and fish.

Frogs’ legs are difficult or impossible to find in Ireland, but I have eaten them maybe three times, and loved them on each occasion! First time I was maybe eight years old, and a friend of the family bought me them for my birthday. I was so happy 😀
Wow, that was a great present! ?
I guess it was very exciting for a child, but even adults can enjoy tasting “exotic” foods. They somehow take you to another country without having to travel for it.
I’ve never seen frogs for sale here, but they can be found in few restaurants or themed festivals.
It tastes like chicken
I can’t get them where I live, but if I go into the city I can…
We do not eat frogs. I guess the eating habits change from place to place.
Eating habits do change, for sure. ?
I’ve already eaten them and have a great taste … when there will be an opportunity to eat them
The majority religion in my country forbids his people to eat animals that live in two realms such as frogs, but I like it very much! Soy sauce spices or butter fried frogs… hmmm…
Interesting. What religion would that be? ?
Islam forbids it, so most people do not eat it except those who ignore the rules or who have other religions.
That’s very interesting, Albert. I never heard that such creatures were forbidden to Muslims.
Imagine, in Indonesia, there are so many frogs, there are even frogs with 1.5 kg that can be consumed, unfortunately only those who consume them are locals.
I have not tried frogs yet, and I doubt that I will. ? In our land, frogs eat.
I have never tried them, but I am not much into sea food either.
I love crabs, but frogs don’t taste like crabs. ?
Fortunately. Croak. ?
I had the opportunity to try frog legs once prepared
Yes I had them fried many times and they really do taste like chicken.
