I've just had frogs legs for the first time in a French restaurant. They were raw in the groin area, should I be worried?

    Better start a new award for " The most questionable thing I've eaten award" or just award the 1st prize to yourself. Frogs c o c k (Raw) . :shock:


    If you do expire I'll start a RIP thread and watch the fun begin. On another note can have first dibs on your bike if you do die horribly of frog's c o c k revenge?

    I heard eating frogs can make your eyes fall out.


    Suppose it's an innovative way to save weight though.

    If they'd been served in crème de chamois, they'd have been fine.

    I'm alive! Bit of a stupid thing to try really as they're obviously not very fresh.

    Aside from troubling your guts or giving you the hops to the bog, how'd they taste? Surely not like chicken?

    Funnily enough they did taste like chicken. White meat, slightly watery and chewy but that might have been because they weren't cooked.

    Probably poor preparation beforehand, but then if you ask in the Cyclocross forum, most folk'll tell you that Froglegs can be a right pain to set up correctly.

    I'll get me coat. :oops:

    It would have been interesting to see if there was a collective mood of loss and emptiness across the forum.......or not......... :wink:

    How many legs do you get and how many constitute a proper meal? Can't be much meat on 'em.

    4 legs so 2 pairs. Fair sized legs but not much meat on them but they were only a starter. It was that or braised snails.

    No pea fritters?
    Snails or frogs? Nothing else on the menu? Jesus wept!

    If they were served as 2 pairs of legs, could you tell if they were boy or girl frogs? Or were the middle bits removed?

    You have a problem. We ask for frogs legs, the French eat the 'thighs of frogs'.

    Clearly they have given you the dangerous groin region rather than just the pleasant thighs. Your fault for ordering in English and not speaking French. Their little joke probably.
