It would be interesting to find any info on Indian tribes who may have eaten frog, in the east or west. I should think if one was to confirm this, then I would think trappers would have been introduced to this by the indians some where a long the way. :hmm:
We get some pretty good sized frogs here in Central New Mexico. Maybe 6-7 long inches laying flat, without stretching them out. Fat, juicy legs too. Then again, I suspect they aren't indiginous to this area, so they may not have been here during the old beaver trapping days. Bill

Can't confirm that swampy, but during some anthropology classes I took, we studied the stomach contents of some mummified Indians (in photos only). Turns out, they ate pretty much anything and everything. A couple of mummies were plum full of half digested grasshoppers and other unidentified bug parts. I imagine they wouldn't pass up some frogs, no matter what their size, after eating bugs and roots on a daily basis. Bill
Blizzard,
That is just about the way I do them.I like to, when possible,use bacon grease. Sometimes it is hard to come by do to the water content in bacon today.But if you can get a smoked cured whole bacon slab.That is the type bacon grease
you want.Not the packaged,pre-sliced stuff.
I wish someone would bottle some good bacon oil.
Your veins would shrink,but your taste buds would
explode.
