[Sca-cooks] Frog legs

[AEllin Olafs dotter]

It seems they really do...

Family story. About 150 years old... *G*

My great-great-grandmother was an Irish peasant girl who married Up in 
the World - my great-great-grandfather was a fairly well off 
Anglo-Irishman. He brought his bride to America. Their first night in 
New York, he introduced her to Fine Dining. On the way back to the 
hotel, he asked how she liked her meal. "Oh, it was wonderful - 
especially that tiny delicate chicken!"

"Those were frog's legs."

She got sick in the gutter...

My granny told that story about her granny (who evidently told it on 
herself) - but I never knew if that was the beginning or the end of 
experimentation for her. *G*
