African Bullfrog

The African Bullfrog is considered a delicacy in parts of the continent, and it’s scientific name: Pyxicephalus edulis even contains the word "edible".  Yet this amphibian contains a variety of substances toxic to humans.The trick seems to be avoiding pre-pubescent frogs: eating them can lead to extremely painful urinary inflammation. Unfortunately, even in mature frogs, eating the wrong parts can cause the same symptoms and even kidney failure. Cooking the frogs in wooden bowls is believed to help remove the dangerous toxins, but perhaps it’s best to just stick to  sautéed frogs legs when you next visit France.
