Default Frogs are running out: Germans eat Frog legs

Frog Legs
are so popular in Asia
France and now Germany wants more.


You would think they would farm them?

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-ne...germans-blame/


Crazy Germans taking all the Stock,



WION HD/ CNN HD/ SkyNewsHD


[Appetite for frogs' legs in France and Belgium is
driving the species to extinction in some supplier
countries, conservationists warn
The EU imports about 4,070 tonnes of frogs'
legs per year, Pro Wildlife claims
This increasingly threatens
frog populations in Indonesia,
Turkey and Albania
Demand is creating 'a fatal domino
effect for species protection', expert claim]

Default Frogs are running out: Germans eat Frog legs

I’d have thought they’d be pretty easy to farm… they reproduce in massive numbers (hundreds of tadpoles per frog) because the tadpoles and young fronts are at risk from predators (birds especially) … so if you can create them an enclosed environment protected from predators, the numbers will explode very quickly Id have thought?

I don’t think I’d be a fan of them personally. that said, I’ve not actually tried one… maybe they’re amazing…

Yes strange no Big Companies
are Farming frogs.

I think it's Sauces they put on the Frog Legs

Seems to cook better than say a chicken leg


I have avoided them,

Frogs legs taste ok, but it's probably the garlic more than anything.

Hard to see frogs running out to be honest...especially with no back legs

I’d agree on the farming frogs point ... each pairing produce up to 2,000 tadpoles!!

I was talking about in general, not just this thread.

I made a thread about sausages and there wasn't one Miss Piggy joke. There were jokes but not Miss Piggy ones.

Because making jokes about fictional frog dudes is one thing, but no way the wokeys would dare make bacon jokes about a thicc fictional swine woman.

They are due to so many Germans liking that food.

Indonesia wants their supply

Alf I just looked up the sausages thread and you’ll be happy to know that 4 of the first 6 post are sausage/pork/pig related puns.

No Miss Piggy ones to be fair.
