Mademoiselle Puppy, FYI, Frogs legs are indeed savoured in France. I like the crepes, quiche, wine, cheese and cognac from France. http://www.ffcook.com/pages/frenchfrogs.htm Frog Legs "les cuisses de grenouilles" Consumption of frogs' legs in France totals 3000 to 4000 tons per year (60 to 80 million frogs). With a population of 60 million, that makes only 60 gr [2 oz] per Frenchman, which means that, contrary to what many foreigners believe, frogs' legs are not so popular in France ! Frog is now a protected species in France so much frogs' legs are imported, in particular from Indonesia. Snails "les escargots" Snail is another food that is appreciated in France and often considered as a "strange" food by foreigners. France is the biggest snails consumer in the world with 40,000 tons consumed per year.
