Are frogs and snails only eaten in French restaurants ? have you ever eaten such things in your country?

Question

I can't believe we (French) are the only one...why do people say it's a French meal? while it is rarely eaten here (few people)

Answer 1

I've eaten both in Italy.

I think it was the Brits who were taken aback at you guys eating frog (legs) and they made the big deal of it and the "tag" has stuck.

Answer 2

I am from Poland and you can find some snails and frogs in our restaurants too. It is not a French food but French people are pretty much the only one having it like some kind of"national food"

Answer 3

They do serve snails in restaurants here in the U.S.A. and not just in French restaurants, and several restaurants serve frog legs....as a matter of fact I eat them quite often....and one of the best places I have ever eaten frog legs was Jack Whites in New Orleans, they were the size of large chicken leg quarters and the BEST.....

Answer 4

I live in America and frogs are often on several restaurants menus, especially in the south where frog legs are a big hit. I have had escargot before, and it has always been at French restaurants. Personally, I think it is quite yummy with garlic, mushrooms and a butter/white wine sauce!

Answer 5

I've had escargot in many different restaraunts not only French. I'm not a big fan of Frog legs abut thay are on menus in lots of places.

Answer 6

I've never been outside of the U.S.A., never eaten in a French restaurant, and have eaten both.

Answer 7

Frogs are very popular in the South, USA. Almost all the seafood and Canjun restaruants cook them.

Answer 8

I know the chinese like snails and serve them in their homes, but I don't know about frogs legs, I would imagine that they would prepare them as well.

Answer 9

Frog legs..Yes.snails NO NEVER........
