Frog Legs!


OK, so Bruce and I are in Mississippi now at Harrah's Casino Mid-South RV Park. We decided to go over and check out the casino for the fun of it. We are not big gamblers, especially Bruce. Wandering around the casino we came across Paula Dean's Buffet. We hadn't planned on eating there but a women tapped me on the shoulder and gave me a buy one get one free coupon. We avoid buffets for obvious reasons, but this was our chance to try Paula Dean's food. Mississippi has the highest rate of obesity in the country and now I know why. I tried to choose the least toxic food. So much of it was fried from chicken to fish to okra to dill pickles and even fried green tomatoes, which I love, but scrape off the coating. If it wasn't fried it was swimming in butter. Speaking of swimming or should I say leaping, they had frog legs on the buffet. I saw a man fill his plate and had to ask what they taste like. He said chicken and I would be surprised at how good they are. They aren't fishy. Bruce proceeded to put one on my plate. I walked around adding a few other items, looking at those frog legs. They were kind of grossing me out. I didn't let any other food touch the frog legs. By the time I got to my table I was totally grossed out and told Bruce I cannot eat those. He took them off my plate and put them on a pile of plates on the table next to us. I know I said I wanted to try different foods around the country, but I guess I draw the line at amphibians that croak in the night and leap during the day.
Ribbitt!!! Ribbitt!!!

Mississippi is the Hospitality State
