Frog legs
(Redirected from Frogs' legs)
Frogs' legs are one of the better-known delicacies of French and Chinese cuisine.
French
The French are known so much for this, that a favourite English nickname for the French is the Frogs. Despite this cliché, frog legs are not a particularly common dish in France.
Only the upper joint of the hind leg is served, which has a single bone similar to the upper joint of a chicken or turkey wing. They are commonly prepared by frying or deep-frying, sometimes crumbed and sometimes uncrumbed. The flavour and texture is partway between chicken and lobster.
Chinese
In Chinese cuisine, they are more affectionately called 田鸡 (pinyin: tiánjī) or literally field chicken. They are usually stir fried and mixed with other light spices, and eaten off the bone.
