I was having some trouble with that, too.

Whereas it has

I think you've hit on the key :-) It's always easy to blame California,
they're just so "different" there...

Obviously the French need to taste the "California BF" since this one was
once "farmed" for food. I think the French don't like anything American
made, oh well. ;o) ~ jan

Could this be payback for the foolishness of some of your countryfolk who
renamed "French Fries" after France failed to support the Iraq war?

Seriously, you're probably close to the point. Obviously, American
Bullfrogs have been considered edible but it's probably beneath the notice
of the Cordon Bleu to cook a substandard frog.
