frog legs
French bistro dish
Frog legs are the hind legs of frogs prepared as food, prized for their tender white meat often compared to chicken.
A delicacy in French cuisine, they're typically breaded and fried or sautéed in garlic butter: We ordered frog legs as an appetizer.
The dish appears on menus worldwide but remains associated with French cooking—hence the stereotype of the French as "frog eaters."
