Why do we call French people "Frogs"?

Travel Tips

I've asked French people that, and the consensus seems to be that it's because some French people eat frog legs (btw... the French often call the English "les rosbifs").
.
But I'm an American, and when I was a child my father used to bring bullfrogs home for my mother to cook... and I know we weren't the only family in the US to eat frog legs.

Because they eat frogs
I think it's beacuse the french language kind of sounds like a frog going "ribbit, ribbit"
I don't call French people "Frogs".I call French people "Cheese Eating Serenader Monkeys".
Because they do eat frogs! this fact still surprises people a lot.
hum, well, I'm french and lived in France all my life and never eaten frogs...It's an old fashioned delicacy (it's frogs legs, by the way, cooked in butter) but hardly everyday fare ! By the way, I heard that the english eat chocolate covered ants ? Is that in anyway true ?
