meh. i've tried frog legs. my older brother tried alllllll kinds of stuff when we lived with our parents. There's not much meat on them, and it just wasn't worth it, especially thinking of how many animals were killed just for a meal. have you tried them, Sargas? |

I've eaten them before, just never tried cooking them. They're good enough, kinda a seafood tasting chicken. But yeah, as a meal center, it'd take some meaty legs (or a lot of them) to fill you up. But then, we also eat shrimp and crawfish, both of which provide little yeild for a lot of work. |

dunno about that. Six to eight shrimp could make an entree. How many frog legs would you need? i've never tried crawfish. what do they taste like? Do they have much flavor if you don't add a lot of cajun spices? |

northerner! ![]() I could easily eat a good 2 doz shrimp before slowing down! (Down here, shrimp aren't the centerpiece for anything, they ARE the meal...)
The reason to eat crawfish IS the cajun spices. They have a flavor, just kinda like a mild seafoodish... but after having cajun, no one understands why you would eat them plain

![]() Yes, i know anyone can eat tons of shrimp. i can too! Hey, you're talking to someone who took her young son to Red Lobster during all-you-can-eat-crab-legs-week. We ate SOOOO many plates of crab legs i thought we'd burst. They never had the special again! i've honestly never had the opportunity to try cajun dishes. is it really hot, or what? |

depends. I don't think they are really hot, though you can certainly up the heat in them. |

Never really did a lot of cajun cooking actually. No reason too when you could walk down the street and get some. But I'll see what I have. |
