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.
