Viggen Posted June 7, 2007 Report Share Posted June 7, 2007 Frogs' legs, a delicacy most closely associated with the French, is in fact, a Czech dish, according to archaeologists. Although the edible amphibians are closely associated with Gallic cuisine - so much so that English people refer to the French by the derogatory nickname "the frogs" - ancient Czechs were eating them more than 5,000 years ago. New research by archaeologists has uncovered the kitchen remains of hundreds of frogs' legs in a hill fort east of Prague. Most of the 900 bones found in a pit are hind legs (the part which has the most meat and which is traditionally eaten), and came from males. This suggests they were deliberately caught in the spring during their mating season. full article at the Independent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Callaecus Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Salve, V! ONLY FOR FROGEATERS (of any country). OMG! How do you do find such articles? Poor frogs, being eaten alive. The article is not correct when it says that in Southern Europe people eat frogs. Only the French do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 Yum, I like frogs legs. friend with garlic, parsley and butter, yumyum ! But so long time I haven't eaten any. To much pressure on them, they are disappearing from so many places. Just let them live and gobble mosquitoes ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
