Interesting Grocery Store Finds

001
I have a hard time finding, to me, basic things like cilantro and jalapenos at my supermarket, yet when it comes to meat my supermarket abounds with interesting finds. Those are honest to goodness frog legs, not a gag gift in a joke shop. They’re in the frozen food section sandwiched between the calamari and the mussels; they were actually on sale last week. I wonder if anyone actually looked at their supermarket flyer that week and said, “Honey, frog legs are on sale. Wouldn’t they be nice with a glass of chardonnay?” because I don’t think I’ve ever actually seen anyone buying them.

Ground horse. I’ve never bought it, but according to my supermarket’s website, it is best served medium rare. Apparently it makes good burgers. Something new to liven up one’s backyard cookouts this summer.
I’m pretty sure that there are at least few people who will see this post and be like  O_o , but what is and is not considered edible is just a product of culture. Although I’ve never tried horse or frog legs, and I don’t have any inclination to do so, I’m not opposed to it being sold in the supermarket. Just had to get that out of the way.
