Greetings Armagnac and Pommard, I love this fellow. If this is the worst beast France has to offer, then France must be heaven. There's nothing like the sounds of evening with crickets, night birds and frogs. Very peaceful. Thanks for the stories and sharing.

Cheers,

Rich

greetings Rich, actually we also have little vipers that might kill you if they bite and if you're fragile, a few wolfs (who didn't eat human flesh since the 19th century, at least) and even a couple of bears in the mountains close to Spain, who prefer sheep to us ; I think that the worst beasts if you count the number of victims are wasps and hornets, if you let the cars out of the count, because of course they would win that race way too easily. Oh, I was going to forget the accident, one of these drooling bloodthirsty monsters killed an old farmer a couple of years ago, be very careful if you come to cross one. cheers, arm & pom.

Greetings Pommard, Thanks for the wonderful stories and photographs. I will be much more careful now when I go out in the wild.

Cheers,

Rich

thanks, miss cat. but you know, they also taste good ! have you ever tried ?

no, i just don't dare (and i've never been to a place offering them). aren't there quite many bones? i expect it to be difficult to eat this!

Pom', on November 24, 2007, said:

we only eat their legs, and it's quite like eating a chicken wing ; actually the flesh tastes almost like chicken. you definitly need to travel in France (especially in Auvergne) !

matkutskava_kissa, if you don't want to eat frogs, maybe you prefer our other speciality ?

matkustava_kissa, on November 24, 2007, said:

not really, i don't dare, as well, but someone told me, they taste nice. i prefer something like this

I love alive frogs. I'll never eat one.(I hope not) I just want them to jump all around. They are funny! :)

Pom', on December 4, 2008, said:

even though we only eat the back legs, once fried they don't jump anymore, don't be afraid ! and they taste quite good. like chicken, almost.

Mi@Ni, on December 4, 2008, said:

Does it taste good? We don't eat them here in Greece. ((Second boss is around...))

Pom', on December 4, 2008, said:
