Frog legs...

[Zephyr]

Bought some frog legs at Kroger for $1. Any one else use frozen frog legs for food?

[GarterGuy]

I have in the past, I actually don't use them anymore. I had posted something about them quite a while ago and was told that the frogs are really treated very cruelly, so I stopped using them.

The garters don't seem to lunge at them as much as they do with worms, so I'll probably only use them as a treat.

I think I heard somewhere that they just cut the legs off without killing the frog first. Then they discard the still living, but legless frog and leave it to die slowly. I don't understand why they can't kill it first.

Yeh that's what I heard as well. Very disturbing in my opinion. I've tried to find "domestic" froglegs, figuring they couldn't get away with that here in the states, but all the ones I've ever found at the grocery store are imported from somewhere else.

Your better off catching them yourself and taking care of them as humanly as possible, or not using them at all................

thats what they say, a long with a bunch of other things that taste like chicken...............

Well they do taste like chicken kind of... icky greasy dark chicken meat-ish. Ew. I had rattlesnake once back in the 70's when I was a kid and it tasted like that, too. It grossed me out back then, now it totally appalls me to think of eating a reptile!

I think they're more tender than chicken
and if you cook them (preferably with garlic and wine), you don't have to worry about the parasites
of course that won't work for the snakes
