The French were famous for their odd cuisine, including snails and frog legs. No Brit would be caught dead eating such things, so they disparagingly called them Frogs to vilify them. The two powers spent a phenomenal amount of time at war.

It is because they eat frog legs.
Frog legs are a delicacy and are quite good.

They eat frog legs.
Why do we call them that? It really pisses them off and that is a good thing.
