Do try them when you get the opportunity - delicious! And washed down with the local vin blanc, of course!
That high pitched noise women make

You could probably try the same thing with a dog and you'd get a lot of woofing and braggadacio, then the pooch would get bitten and have to be rushed off to the vet. I've always been slightly in awe of cats' ability to straddle the two worlds - purry companion one moment, ruthlessly efficient killer the next. You watch a cat stalking through grass towards a bird or somesuch and it really is just like watching a leopard on an Attenborough programme.
Alas I couldn't bring myself to! There are plenty of other good things to eat in France. And there's actually a fair bit of cruelty in rearing frogs for the table - sad to say.

Yes, very true about other things to eat.
Didn't know about the cruelty, I'm ashamed to say. Any worse than force feeding the geese?
Well, if anyone think it's acceptable to eat parts of an animal which have been torn off while the animal is still alive - go ahead.
And we leave out the foie gras as well. But that's mainly due to our meat-free cuisine. But I've no business claiming the moral high ground here, plenty of nasty things going on in the fish industry!

I've seen frogs' legs on menus... My sister had them once, and said she felt guilty, not because of the cruelty, I dod'nt suppose she knew about that (I didn't), but because it was such a tiny little bit of meat to kill anything for - like only having the wings off a chicken.
I had half a snail once, from someone else's pizza. Didn't feel the need to have the other half.
I love it if we had some more dangerous animals in this country. Wolves. Especially if they took up residence in Tang Hall. Bears too. Love to see a chav and his psuedo-pitbull Staffie faced with a bear. I had hopes our foxes were developing a useful dangerous streak...
