5. No. Kids used to go out and "gig a few frogs" near rivers and creeks

in various areas I lived in when I was a kid. Froggy's legs would hit the dinner table that night and I imagined Froggy was left on a dolly with a little tin begging cup. Anywhere there was a large French or western border German population, people ate frog. I suspect my dad caught ours, they only appeared when he'd been home for at least a day.

They might be imported for the rich man's table. I've seen them for sale only one place, frozen in the basement of Safeway International in DC. I would imagine they still carry them.
