Don't worry. No frogs were hurt in the production of this recipe.
Frogmore Stew is a close relative of a Low Country Boil - but without the crab legs or crawfish. Some people still call it a Low Country Boil either way - it doesn't really matter what you call it just so long as you make you a big ol' pot of it!
I'm not even sure who came up with the name Frogmore Stew. Was it first made by a frog lover, or maybe the inventor of this great dish was named Mr. Frogmore? I have no idea.
I am, however, completely sure you will fall in love with this recipe - and the way it is served - as much as we have. After all, eating off of newspapers is classiness at it's finest.
An added bonus - virtually no clean up. Just wrap up your newspaper, chunk it in the trash, & go be a couch potato.
