Two Brits try Michelin star Frogs Legs!

[@Marwa-er9ls]

I need Ollie to bring Josh to a fake michelin star restaurant he sets up himself where he serves him very average food but with fancy name and plating getting increasingly worse with each course and see how Josh reacts to each bite. That would be peak entertainment. There could even be an actor telling stories about each course and cheap wine pairing and all. Please make it happen!

That's not just politeness, some taste require to get used to them and the same ingredient will taste different depending of its origin or preparation. Stopping at the first try would be like saying you don't like music after listening to only one song.

@@IronFreee I agree, some dishes are definitely an acquired taste and of course they vary depending on different factors.

[@mudra5114]

Why did these dishes become uncommon?

[@copacopa4881]

​@Mudra I guess it's trends. They take time to prepare, some are strongly associated with family dinners for most people, and the French cuisine is highly influenced with world food since the 90s.

[@Americaninparis2012]

@@mudra5114 Price would be the prominent factor, in my opinion. Aside from the restaurant the Jolly boys ate at, those dishes aren't served by your average bistrots, which are reasonably priced. There are lots of restaurants that serve frog legs, snails, etc but they tend to be on the pricier side of dining. I love oysters and in a coastal city that I often visit, a plate of raw oysters will fetch about 20 euros, which my family will go through 3 or 4 orders before we go onto eating the main meal.
