Would Nana do it, for a buck?"

Reading about the wonderful food overseas got me thinking... Frog's legs, escargot, and brains. Would Nana do it, for a buck? Let's find out.

~ Frog's Legs ~

• France consumes about 3,500 tons of frogs legs per year (or about 70 million frogs).
• Because frogs are becoming endangered, much of Frances frogs legs are imported, in particular from Indonesia.  

So, what do you say Nana? Les cuisses de grenouilles, pour $1? On second thought, frogs legs are really no big deal. They serve them at the local Chinese buffet, and they are actually quite tasty. So instead, how about...

  

~ Escargots ~

• Escargots are typically removed from their shell, gutted, and then cooked.
• Snails are very high in protein and low in fat when they are cooked and served without butter sauce.
• But escargots are usually cooked in garlic and butter sauce, and then put back into the shells with the butter sauce. (Well, of course! What DOESN'T taste good in garlic and butter?!?!)
• There are special tongs, as there are special devices for lobster, used to hold the shell. There are also special snail forks that are used to get the meat out of the shell. Or, you can just slurp at it! Yummmmmmmmm!

Not bad, but maybe not worth a buck...

What else do we have to offer?

~ Brains ~

• Animal brains are featured in French cuisine, in dishes such as cervelle de veau and tête de veau.
• I have nothing else to say...

So, what do you say, Nana?

Do we have a bet?
