Look matey who is obviously a know it all kinda of a person and thinks a joke is there always to cover lack of real intelligence... They breed them especially to eat they do not actually pick up waifs and strays and of course frogs legs, they manage to get through 160 Million frog legs each year so Ah la Crap available here in more ways than one
....FACT....
...Are they only eaten in France?
Not at all. They're also quite popular in south-east Asia, parts of Europe, and the
US is actually the
second biggest importers of
frogs in the world (largely thanks to the popularity of frogs' legs in the south).
And the Brits were eating them long before French, at least according to scientists in the UK.
In 2013, archaeologists working near Stonehenge found toad bones that had been cooked and eaten on the site between 7596 BC and 6250 BC (or in other words, 8,000 years ago).
Clichés about the French all went out the window, at least for a day.
so there....and your point?
