Yesterday I mentioned our evening meal starter was cuisses des grenouilles, which I haven't had before. I guess I was expecting a pile of leg muscles, suitably cooked. Instead, as Clare shows in the picture, you get the recognisable lower half of the frog: in fact six or seven of them, with salad.
Ad they still have the - very brittle - bone inside, it's impossible to eat them with knife and fork. It's a case of pick them up and devour them .. sticky fingers!
The taste is bland, not a million kilometres from chicken, and it's wise not to dwell on the normal diet of the frog.
I write this at breakfast, using the hotel WiFi - onwards to the Louvre!
