Fried Frogs' Legs

Prepare eighteen frogs' legs and put them in a bowl with a marinade composed of one tablespoonful each of vinegar and sweet oil and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well together in the bowl, immerse them in frying batter, plunge them singly into very hot fat and fry for five minutes. Drain, arrange on a hot dish with a folded napkin and garnish with parsley. Any desired sauce may be served with this dish.
