Eating Pbogs. — " Do you mean to say that you like frogs ? " asks the indignant reader. Yes, I do. And here allow me to remark that if you are ignorant of the taste of frogs, you are, gastronomically speaking, sunk in the depth of barbarism, and an object of pity, even as some wretch who has never swallowed an oyster. Fancy chickens from Lilliput, as much more delicate than common chickens as they would be smaller, and you have some notion of what frogs are like. One of the most galling disappointments I ever had to bear was to leave untouched a plate of frogs, because I had to go off by the train. For the first forty miles, my soul was a pray to vain regrets ; and now, though I have eaten many a plate of frogs since then, I have not quite got over it. But the common English notion that the French are fed on frogs habitually, is a mistake. Frogs are much too dear to be anything but a luxury ; and you may as well say the Engiish population is brought up on woodcocks.—" Macmillan."
