Yes indeed practice of eating frog legs is alive and well in France. While France is one of many counties (including Thailand, Vietnam, and the U.S.) in which frog legs are eaten, they have captured the imagination as one of the more infamous aspects of French cuisine
Frenchmen eating frog legs remains a popular French stereotype, to the point that "Frog-eaters" or "Frogs" has become a popular nickname for the French. The nickname traces its origins to the trenches of WWII, from British soldiers mocking the French soldiers for their consumption of frogs (while in return the French called the British "roast bifs").
Even one of the most powerful men in the world eats them. Need we say more?
US Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama eats a frog leg during a stop at the Pier 32 restaurant in Hamilton, Indiana, on August 31, 2008 with his running mate Joe Biden. Obama and Biden are on the third day of their "On the Road to Change" tour through battleground states.
