Frog legs are eaten in many parts of Europe (except Germany apparently) So much that some indigenous frog species have become endangered, and frog legs are more often imported from South-East Asia these days.

BTW. I had also expected the article to be about actual frogs: about how endangered some species are, or how the flesh may contain pollutants or diseases.



"Frog eaters" (using the word for "eat" that is used for animals, not people) is a German slur against French people, so yeah, Germany seems to have a strong aversion.
