Ha Ha Ha The Frogs are cooked!
How do the French cook frogs?
In France, frogs' legs (cuisses de grenouille) are considered a delicacy.
The most common preparation method involves marinating them in milk, dredging them lightly in seasoned flour, and quickly sautรฉing or pan-frying them in butter and garlic until golden brown.
The traditional French cooking process for frog legs is relatively straightforward
:
1. The Preparation Soak in Milk:
Many French chefs soak the frog legs in milk for 30 minutes to an hour. This tenderizes the meat and creates a clean, slightly sweet flavor
.Dry and Season:
Pat the legs dry thoroughly on paper towels and season them generously with salt and pepper
.2. The DredgeFlour:
Roll the legs in plain flour and shake off any excess so they have a very light, delicate coating.
3. The Cook Sautรฉ or Fry:
Heat clarified butter or a mix of butter and oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
Brown the Legs:
Cook the legs for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown. Be careful not to move them around too much, or the delicate flour coating will fall off.
4. The Sauce (Persillade)Garlic and Herbs:
Once the frog legs are cooked through and crispy, they are traditionally removed from the pan.
Toss: Turn down the heat, toss fresh minced garlic and chopped parsley into the pan with more melted butter, and briefly return the legs to the pan to coat them.
They are frequently finished with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
For a slightly more elaborate variation of this dish (such as the Provenรงal style, which uses white wine, brandy, and shallots), you can follow along with the complete step-by-step instructions detailed by Salmon and Frogs or read the full cooking guide via Hunter Angler Gardener Cook

When will the native French be 25%/ 10 % of their countries population?
Given the increasing death rate and accelerating immigration rate
Thought for 7s
In short, the share is already declining noticeably in births and youth, with natives likely dropping below 50% overall sometime mid-century under status-quo high-migration trends.
France's situation mirrors broader Western European patterns but is buffered somewhat by historically higher fertility.
For the most reliable data, check INSEE/INED reports on origins and projections
.No precise official projections exist for "native French" (typically meaning people of long-established French/European ethnic ancestry without recent immigrant background), as France does not collect ethnic or racial statistics
.en.wikipedia.org
Official data from INSEE and INED focus on immigration status, country of birth, and parental origins instead. "Native French" is an informal category often approximated as people with no immigrant grandparents or parents (or sometimes limited to European ancestry). Current trends show accelerating shifts due to sub-replacement fertility among natives, higher fertility among some immigrant groups, an aging native population (more deaths), and sustained net immigration.ined.frCurrent Situation (Mid-2020s)
Total population: ~68โ69 million (metropolitan France ~66โ67 million).ined.fr
Immigrants (foreign-born): ~10โ14% (~7โ9.6 million).en.wikipedia.org
People with immigrant background: Immigrants children of immigrants make up ~20โ25% of the population. Michรจle Tribalat's estimates (a key demographer using available data): ~19% foreign-origin on two generations (~2011 data); approaching ~30% under age 60 on three
generations.researchgate.net
Births: ~19โ25% to immigrant mothers in recent years; >30% of births with at least one non-EU-born parent (2023 data). Immigrant women have higher fertility (e.g., ~2.6 vs. ~1.8 for natives in some studies), though it converges in the second
generation.inirnet.org
Natural change: Negative in 2025 (more deaths than births for the first time since WWII), with fertility at ~1.56 (lowest in a century). Net migration (~150โ176k/year recently) drives all
growth.theguardian.com
"Native French" share: Likely 70โ80% today (broad European/French ancestry), but declining, especially among younger cohorts.
Wikipedia and other sources sometimes list "French people" much lower due to regional/ethnic breakdowns, but that's not standard for "native" in this context
.en.wikipedia.orgTrends
Driving Change
Native fertility: Below replacement (~1.5โ1.8); declining births.
Immigrant/descendant fertility: Higher initially, contributing disproportionately to births.
Aging/deaths: Baby boomers dying off increases natural decrease.
Immigration: Accelerating net inflows (mostly non-European in recent decades); accelerating under current policies.
Projections: INSEE/INED total population peaks ~2037โ2044 then declines without high migration.
No official ethnic projections, but continued trends imply rapid minority growth in younger ages.

Rough Projections for "Native French" Share
These are not official and depend heavily on assumptions about future fertility, migration, and intermarriage.
Simple models (or extrapolations from demographers like Tribalat) suggest:
25% threshold:
Potentially in the 2040sโ2060s under high-migration/accelerating scenarios. Younger age groups (under 18โ30) would hit this much earlier due to differential birth rates.
Some political commentators (e.g., citing Tribalat) have warned of "historical people" as a minority by ~2060.
europeanconservative.com
10% threshold:
Likely late 21st century (2070sโ2100 ) or beyond, if trends continue without major policy shifts.
This assumes persistent high non-European immigration and fertility gaps.
Total population may stabilize or decline, but the native share shrinks faster.
Key uncertainties:Migration policy changes (e.g., restrictions could slow it).
Fertility convergence or policy boosts for natives.
Intermarriage and self-identification (many descendants assimilate).
Definitions: "Native" is fuzzy; including Southern European ancestry changes numbers.
