Last weekend I was in Lyon, France. A friend of mine originally from Lyon recommended a shopping center called Les Halles de Lyon known for their food stalls and restaurants. I went there and “followed my nose” to one of restaurants with an open kitchen. I read their menu which included chicken “la poule” and saw plates of chicken wings which smelled very good to me. I immediately ordered the chicken wings and ate them happily. I was super proud of my very good self that I took a picture of my plate of chicken wings.
This morning I showed off the photo of chicken wings to another friend from Lyon. He asked me if I liked the FROG LEGS. Then it dawned on me that the chicken wings I ate were frog legs which the locals called chicken. That would explain why it cost 17 Euros for a small plate of “chicken wings”. I should have known as the Chinese called frogs “field chickens”. I did not mean to eat frog legs as I love frogs, but well, I will be more careful next time. I can’t undo an honest mistake and they did taste good (and like chicken). Let us not dwell on it.
