A festival in Vittel, France, last weekend celebrated the culinary delights of a signature French dish — frog legs. But Mort Rosenblum, founding editor of the new quarterly magazine Dispatches, reports that the nation’s love for “cuisses de grenouille” is fed by critters shipped from around the globe.
France banned commercial production of the tasty amphibians in 1977. With other laws limiting the frog harvest, most of the ones eaten in France are shipped in from countries as far away as Indonesia.
Rosenblum says the French would prefer to eat homegrown frogs, but they don’t have much choice.
“French frogs really taste better to most cooks,” he says.
Despite reports that frogs are disappearing from French plates, Rosenblum says they’re as popular as ever — and served in dozens of ways, with combinations of cream and garlic and herbs.

On last Friday afternoon, while I was enjoying my cigarette after having a tasty launch meal, a guy run into me and asked me in a polite way if he can barrow my lighter for a second. In these kinds of situations smokers usually share a small talk conversation so we started one. He asked me if I go to VCU, I told him that I’m doing an ELP program now but I’ll be starting my academic studies by next semester. The questions kept going. We shared a lot of information about each others. The guy is from New Jersey. He’s studying accounting here in VCU. This is his second year and he’s doing well in his studies. I asked him if he’s seeing that he made the right choice after the two years. “Never been gladder to “he said. As a prospective student, this made me more comfortable to be here. He thanked me for the lighter and went on his way.
