Mademoiselle Puppy,
FYI,
Frogs legs are indeed savoured in France.
I like the crepes, quiche, wine, cheese and cognac from France.

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.
