Frog pizza ... get it while it's hop PICTURE thesun.co.uk By ALEX PEAKE Published: Today A RESTAURANT chain has sparked fury by serving up pizzas with a topping of FROGS’ LEGS. The “Hopper” contains eight limbs on a traditional base with capers and an anchovy sorbet. The £17.95 dish has angered campaigners who slammed it as “barbaric” — because frogs’ legs are amputated while they are still alive. An Animal Aid spokeswoman urged people to boycott London chain Eco. She said: “The animals typically have their limbs hacked off while still alive, having been captured by the bucketload from the wild in countries like Indonesia. “I cannot believe people are so desperate to entertain their palates that they want to be part of this vicious and callous trade.” Chef Sami Wasif came up with the idea on a trip to Paris — and called it “refined”. He said: “I’ve been making pizza for more than 20 years and know that London is a city always looking for something new.” He added: “Pizza is something you can experiment with. I might try one with snails on it next.”
