			GUESS WHO'S KERMIT TO DINNER?   

In the 1950s (according to Russell Ash's "Bizarre Books") there was an

included the following delicacies. (With a few added variations...)

    Bullfrog Broth
    Bullfrog Pie, Country Style
    Jellied Bullfrog (a'la aspic)

    Bullfrog with Dominant Mayonnaise Dressing 
    Escalloped Bullfrog with Celery and Potatoes
    Minced Bullfrog Savory Sandwiches
    Bullfrog Short Cakes
    Bullfrog Eye Salad 
    Creamed Bullfrog and Mushrooms (What about Toad on Toadstool?)
    Frog in the Hole (Fried bread with frog in the middle. A quantum 
     "leap" over the Brits' traditional "Toad in the Hole.")
			And finally....
    Rana-mole Ole! (Bullfrog Blender Guacamole Dip)



    Feastive Frog Yule Log (Frog ice cream mold)

			Cocktail Menu:
