Well, in that case there are these two messages below on frogs as a period
food dish that are from the exotic-meats-msg file in my Florilegium.

There are also files that include period recipes for "Little Pig" and
goat.

Check Le Menagier. I think there's one ... toward the end somewhere.

I'm aware of references to frogs as food in Le Menagier de Paris, and in
Platina's De Honesta Voluptate. The former, IIRC, gives instructions on
gigging for frogs, but gives no recipe, as far as I recall, while the
latter talks about the medical aspects of eating them, and also, IIRC,
gives no recipe.
