Frog's Legs/Cajun Food Anonymous Mon Sep 15 03:17:20 2014 No.5794115 [Reply] [Original]

Today I tried fried Frog's Legs. I went to a random Cajun food place by the beach with my girl.
I liked the taste. The texture was like slimy chicken with a seafood after-taste.
My girlfriend was slightly grossed out, not by the smell or taste, but just by knowing that they were frog's legs and that she hadn't ever eaten frog. Also by the prominent veins in the meat.
After we had placed our order, I noticed they also offered alligator on the menu. I had never tried alligator either, and if I had noticed that option before I would have went with the alligator. But the frog's legs were alright, rather tasty in fact.
For the main course I had a soft-shell crab Po'Boy and she had a Crawfish one. They were on point and made me realize how much I like Cajun food.
Have you ever tried Frog's Legs? What did you think?
What about alligator?
Any other uncommon meat or ingredient?

Yep, I like frog legs. The first time I had them, I think I was about 5 or 6 years old, at one of the steakhouses in our town that was of Cajun ethnicity. I remember my older sister taunting me and saying "ooooh, get the frog legs, you'd never eat those, blah blah blah" and so I ordered them. And loved them, ate every bite. They were french fried frog's legs, of course, but since then I've had them many times, in other ways besides fried (although, they are pretty tasty fried). I like the slightly seafood-y flavor. Alligator is great too. I used to work as an organizer for a reggae festival, and we had vendors that sold Cajun food, Caribbean food, and regular festival food, and my two favorites were the alligator on a stick and the conch fritters. Absolutely glorious.

Atheism is the ultimate degenerate blue pill.

Atheists are much lower than even muslims, to not believe in the Almighty is pretty much the most degenerate act even possible.

Your welcome!
Conch is a salt water creature, pic related (those are their shells), and you get them out of there and pound them (to tenderize them, possibly to kill them too, lol), and then you can make them into fritters, or conch stew, and other dishes. Really really tasty, I highly recommend trying them if you ever come across a place that sells them.
Alligator actually tastes much like frog's legs, but denser meat, more like a literal "chicken of the sea", that can be made into cutlets, or chicken fried steak-type dish, or alligator poppers, or cajun stewed alligator. I like it. It's also one of the healthiest meats you can eat. It's extremely high in protein, while being extremely low in fat, with lots of nutrients like potassium, iron, and b 12.
I'd try raw frog legs, but only if I knew they were freshly caught and skinned right before. Did you know, that when you butcher the frog, the legs will keep "jumping" for awhile after they are cut off? :)

I had never heard of conch anything but I am down. I'll keep this recommendation in mind.
Alligator sound delicious. the high protein, low fat content makes me think of wild venison meat, and I love wild venison meat.
That's one of the reasons why I asked about the raw frogs legs. My girl mentioned that if you put salt on raw frogs legs they will jump. It reminded me of either japanese or Korean cuisine where they salt a whole octopus. Even though its completely dead, the salt produces a completely chemical reaction.
Seriously though, Cajun food is some of the best cuisine out there.

This is true.
I'm assuming you've had dirty rice. Dirty rice and etouffee are two of my staple meals, because it's cheap, nutritious, and fucking DELICIOUS. For dirty rice to be good, it HAS to be made with chicken livers. If it doesn't have chicken liver in it, it's just not going to be good. But, for people who don't liver, they probably would never notice it anyway, because you basically puree the livers into a loose paste before adding them so you can't really tell they're in there, but they add so much flavor. Fuck, now I want some dirty rice.
Also, I recommend you make your own cajun seasoning, don't buy the prepackaged kinds, they have too much salt in them and not enough of the good herbs and spices.
And, as far as a table sauce to shake on your cajun food, if you feel like it needs extra zing, I recommend pic related.

I HAVE had it with duck liver! And yeah, it's awesome. But, chicken livers are so damn cheap and plentiful, I use those on a regular basis. When I get a duck, or feel like stocking up on bits (my local butcher keeps duck livers, gizzards, necks, etc on hand) then I definitely use that. Most of the time it's chicken livers though, because I'm a cheapass.

I've had frog legs once. They were rubbery and really watery. I assume it was just a bad batch, though I am still weary of giving it another shot.

Alligator is great! Maybe it was the way it was cooked really well, who knows. But it has ranked as one of my favorites of all time. I'd certainly recommend it.

>>	Anonymous Mon Sep 15 14:06:13 2014 No.5795205 I really like alligator. It's pretty good, similar to chicken I guess, really chewy, I like the texture personally.
