This was a dish I would never even have considered trying when I was younger but once I got the travel bug in general , part of the excitement was trying the local dishes as well as anything I would potentially not find back home.

After having tried the frog legs once in town I kind of enjoyed munching on these legs 🙂 and it became a regular starter when I was in town.

Some of my friends from Kampala had arrived and at lunch I suggested them to try this delicacy.

Then the waiter , a bit embarrassed says – Pardon Monsieur, no Frog legs today (in french of course)

– hmm no frog legs and here I have finally convinced my friends to try them?! All my friend of which half from Uganda sighed with relief.

– No monsieur, you know….. the rebels.

– what.. the rebels… What do the rebels have to do with my frog legs??

– Monsieur, you know the area where the rebels shell the town with mortars.

– Yes

– Pardon monsieur, but that is where the frog farm is and yesterday the military was doing raids so no delivery today.

There should not be many valid reasons for a restaurant not to have the food written on the menu but who can argue with this reason.!!

Only in Africa
