Conch fritters so good as are Rhode Island clam fritters on the beach. Neither one can I get here in the Midwest.

I was told that frog legs 'taste like chicken'; they taste like frog! Once was plenty. Mary

Also fresh frog legs cooked by a friend. Fresh Bull frogs from the ponds on her land, Breaded and deep fried they were always good never thought gator or frog legs tasted like chicken, rabbit does come close but still not chicken.

Used to eat raw oysters and clams when I lived near and in Boston. Never could do sushi well but love a good ceviche. Basically "cooked" in citrus or vinegar.

I've had alligator and frog legs before too.
I have NEVER eaten pickled pigs feet though...so I'm good.

Love Conch, had it fresh in chowder and fritters in the Keys. I'm a native Floridian born in Broward Co Hosp. but raised up north since age 1. My parents talked about going through hurricanes playing cards with the neighbors in someones boarded up home. Hoping all our members and friends get thru this season with minimal loss!

Reminds me of when I was a kid, nobody evacuated!!

NO, no pigs feet or chicken feet. see both in the Mexican markets I frequent. Guess chicken feet make good stock, may try it some day. Also can't do the fried pig skin that is a go to on low carb diets and Mexican cuisine.

Frog legs etouffee is one of the most wonderful dishes I have ever eaten. Made a fool of myself in a white table cloth resturant, sucking all the meat off the bone! LOL

I'm married to a Mexican who seems to have a stomach of steel...he eats some nasty stuff.

It took me YEARS to be able to cook cow's tongue with out gagging.

Just saw 7 million people without power in Florida. Not much other news on the hurricane. A friend near Atlanta said she is getting hammered by rain and worked from home today because she could instead of dealing with the traffic in the rain.

Ursaline, praying Jose goes out to sea.
