Tasty Frog Smoking Gets The Limelight

In some countries, eating frog legs as a delicacy, while some detest even hearing the word, frog on a plate - Enter Philip Paul, the Nigerian frog seller - he, his wife and daughter love to eat them. The family hails from central Benue state but live in the north-east, where people are not so keen on them. He spoke to BBC's Christine Otieno, he shared how he catches them to sun-drying them before spicing them up with spices, tomatoes, onions and chillies for stewing. Still interested. See pictures of Mr. Paul does his frog smoking the Nigerian way... Chefs watch and learn.

Years back, the fishermen residing in the outskirts came over to where once I lived - it was once a fishing area where alligators tilapia / catfish and frogs could be caught. The alligator needed the skills of the fishermen - They informed the residents that there was nothing wrong in eating the frogs, named "Akere" - once prepared, it tasted like chicken. yummy.

Here in London, a office colleague once brought in frog legs on his trip from France, I watched in amusement as it was devoured before you could say "Jack Robinson". The westerners were not squeamish at all...  finger licking things.
