I think that these must once have been sort of an emergency food for poor people that were to destitute to have any lifestock in France and otherplaces .After all -the competetion for the protein is one of the defining factors in human history .The less powerful the person , the less protein available .The competition for snails and frogs were percievably less intens than trying to wrestle farmland and livestock from the military or economic elite .
imho-as always
