fried frog legs

[raastros2]

there isnt one thing wrong with the 5lb box of frog legs from Hi Nabor at all! just as gamey as catching them wild and as you can see from the only snap shot i got of the legs before they got snatched up they got some pretty big legs in there

I'm in.  So what the verdict on the legs?  Look good to me.  I'll be there in a few hours. And since you switched to Malbec, Any beer left?

Tabasco can get a lil warm for a wing sauce

Love the the fact that you can buy a 5 pound box of frog legs at the store. They look great. What's a box cost?

That seems like a hell of a good deal from where I am sitting. I think the ones that land here come from Asia I am a bit wary after seeing a TV  show about some of the fish farming operations.

I assume these are American frogs.

I like the idea of doing some thing twice cooked ,poached  in master stock then hard fried with some Asian flavours in the dipping sauce.

Love me some Frog Legs!!!

Baseball this time of year?

The only thing bigger down here than LSU football is LSU baseball.  I've got a cousin in CO who had no clue that LSU even had a baseball team.  I believe we now have 8 national championships now? 

As to the frog legs...lol...I never even thought of finding them in a grocery store!  We've always gone out and gigged them in the swamp across the road.  Might have to run down to the not so local Hi Neighbor and pick up a box or four as the pic of them looked pretty dang good!

Are the local frogs or did they come from across the Pacific?

Good Morning and happy MARVELOUS MARCH and SENSATIONAL SUNDAY!!!!!

What a fabulous frogs' legs thread to wake up to! (I LOVE frogs' legs)!!!

And how fun that you enjoyed such with a Malbec!

Feel free to come join our "Winos" group, and post photos and pairings like this and share in the fun!!!

(IN FACT, in one of those threads in the WINO group, I think it may have been "Wine Versus Beer" or something like that, there's a "frogs' legs" video of mine even, from back last fall). So feel free to come chime into anything there or start your own threads and share great food-wine pairings you enjoy too!

And meanwhile, this was FANTASTICALLY delicious to begin my day with! Thanks for sharing! Great post!!!!

Yup been there . Great place to visit.  People are always amazed how long it takes to make a barrel of tabasco.  And of course the the reason why the  Baton Rough pepper picking tool used. 

But back to those Frog Legs.  OUTSTANDING!  Tough to find in the Dallas area.

fun fact of the day for non-louisianans: without whiskey there would be never have been tabasco sauce! they use the used barrels to age the peppers in

Back when, in Lafayette at the slaughter house which was on Evangeline Thruway as you entered Lafayette (long since gone), they always had fresh frog legs. Really interesting operation. Fraternity parties always involved a big cook with the kegs! And a load of funny stories from that too. LOL

Thanks for reminding me of that!

Those legs look great!  Tough to find them around here, especially in bulk.  Usually run around $8-9/lb at that.
