RECIPE
FAYETTE COUNTY FRENCH FRIED FROG FRITTERS
French Fried Frog
Fritters Body and All
Eat em in the summer or eat em in the fall
Scrape fourteen frogs from the middle of the street
Don't cut off the head or the hands or the feet
Put em in the blender and set it on grind
Then blend em on
WHOOP
till they get real fine
Add garlic and onions and hot pepper jelly
Ground frog fritters taste great in your belly
You can eat em well done; you can eat em quite rare
Or you can put em on a cracker - I really don't care
