Which is the joke, of course. I’ve never had frogs, but man alligator tastes like chicken. I’m not sure if it’s white meat though, I’ve only had it once.

There is almost no way they survived the existence of the ashmounts. Era 2 Spoiler And Sazed recreated the animals after his Ascension... @Ghanderflaffle I would not know; I can’t eat them. I can’t eat Parmesan meatballs either, although Kelsier seems to think they’re good. Edited May 3, 2021 by Kingsdaughter613 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was about to make a joke about the improbability of a significant religious story containing frogs for him to have stored in order to make that work when I realized that I, and I believe you, tell one annually.

Kosher high five. Scadrial is Cosmere France. How can there NOT be frogs? My grandfather had actually eaten frog legs as a child. It’s the rabbit stew he - and his brother - remember though. Apparently the woman who saved them made a really good rabbit stew, because they both brought it up when I interviewed them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like there might not be on any of the main shardworlds we know of, except possibly Nalthis. There's a frog mentioned in the 10th anniversary epilogue of Elantris, so there's frogs on Sel. Edit: Sorry, no memes today. Sometime within the next days though Edited May 3, 2021 by Elegy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sorry to hear about your great-aunt. What you're doing is really great. To tie the subject back to the Cosmere a bit, one of my favorite moments in Mistborn: TFE is when Vin takes the extra baywrap to keep the bread for later, because whenever I heard stories from survivors they said that when they were rescued and given their first opportunity to have food without worrying about scarcity, they did what Vin did in that scene, just in case they wouldn't have another opportunity to get the food. It made the scene feel very real, and it hammered home for me how difficult Vin's life would have been. (Yes, I know, "big surprise, Brandon is a great author," but still.)
