This evening, I am craving for Sautéed Spicy Frog Legs and a glass of Late Harvest Gewurztraminer at China Buffet.

Let me know how you like the frog legs, I'm thinking frog is a bit sweet & delicate flavored to add a lot of spice, what kind of flavoring spice they used?

The Chinese sauté Frog Legs with Salt, Pepper & Sliced Jalapenos.
The Vietnamese use Lemon Grass and the French use Butter and Seasoned Flour.
Frog Legs Piccata is awesome also.

Bon Appétit!

I'm a very adventurous eater and things generally don't gross me out, but I've never, ever tried frog legs. Hardly even ever see them on menus anymore either.

Do restaurants on Indian reservations such as Thunder Valley Casino have to adhere to state health laws? Supposedly it's soveign land

They have to not make people sick. If they were, the word would get out pretty fast that guests were getting food poisoning.
I wouldn't be surprised if they needed to follow state and federal laws. Otherwise under age people could go there and drink because the age 21 law woudn't apply.

I've tried 'em when in Louisiana, as the saying goes (and its true) they taste just like chicken

So does rattlesnake. I think gator also resembles chicken.

How pork can claim to be the "other" white meat when there are so many white meats as compared to the red meats.

I've heard the sweetest and most tender Filet Mignon is the backstrap from homo sapiens.
But that could just be an old wives tale,


or would that be an old cannibals tale.

I have not considered Jalapeno to be a chinese seasoning, curious, still I think it would be too strong a flavor. I've had them just fried like chicken, which apparently is "French". The Lemongrass and Piccata versions sound more tasty & compatible with frog in my mind. Hopefully I can try it for real and figure it out, thanks Naga.

Hey CW, I'm about the only person I know who has had them. Waaaay back when I was a little kid, my uncle would go frogging and my Granny would fry 'em up. I tried a lot of unusual foods as a kid, thanks to my Granny, like frog, abalone, venison, moose, okra, eggplant, squash blossoms, .... yumyum

They are actually really good. Had a friend growing up whose dad used to make them, along with rocky mountain oysters....

Agreed. Frog legs are excellent if they are done right! I have yet to try rocky mtn. oysters but I would like to!

I tried a frog leg while at the China Buffet...my first experience ever with them! I actually really liked it.

Finally got around to trying China Buffet for lunch today.

It was pretty decent. Definitely the best such buffet restaurant that's ever been in Folsom (faint praise, I know). They had a very large selection of food (not as big as Eastern Max, but bigger than most other such buffets I've been to). Quite a bargain for $8 at lunch (weekdays, anyway). They seem to have a bit of a Korean influence, as there were several items that were Korean, or Korean versions of Chinese food (e.g., the Pork Bao buns or some of the sushi).

One thing I didn't like was that 4 of the Korean entrees were together in a buffet table by themselves, and there apparently was no heat on that table. One of the dishes was a very delicious spicy Salmon fillet, but being at room temperature, it lost some of its appeal.

I'll definitely try it again.

I'll definitely try it again.
