    Default Frog legs?

    So chatting to a work colleague about stuff and random things and he mentions that he has always wanted to try frog legs.

    Where would one go to eat legs? I know it's a French dish, but still have no clue as to where to go. Joburg area in particular.

    Has anyone tried it?

    You can try Kream restaurant, but call ahead to verify they have them available.

    You can also try Pomodoro and lastly you can try Les Délices de France.

    No, I have not tried it.

    But I don't understand... Why? Pray tell, what is wrong with steak?

    I get that some people are overly adventurous with their food but if it tastes like chicken, why not just eat chicken?

    Anyway each to his own, hop to it then!

    I have had them two ways.

    First time they were deboned, sautéed then put into a salad.

    The second time they came grilled but then were put into a garlic butter sauce. The entire hindquarter of the frog was grilled. You ate these as you would chicken wings.

    Both cases they were delicious, the second option was my favourite.
    One too many wasted sunsets and one too many for the road .........

    Steak gets boring but has its place. I started exploring and found that there are many other proteins that can give as much if not more joy than steak. But then you have to break out of the box.
