I mean... GOOD MOVE!  Have you guys ever tasted that crap?  My policy of eating something so as not to offend the host was put to the TEST with that stuff!  As a side benefit... and perhaps the best part of the whole thing... JUST THINK about all the FROG's that won't come to STL!  Maybe we could get CONGRESS to do the same thing!

I have a policy never to do anything for the sole purpose of not offending someone.   :-D I tend to offend people sometimes... LOL

Not sure why the municipality of Chicago is even worrying about this. Honestly, though, there are certain things in French Cuisine that I like, but this is ridiculous. Just shoot the damn thing, pluck it, and cook it.

But proponents of the ban say that it is the city's job to prevent animal abuse.

Not that I would eat the crap but WHY THE HECK is it the city's job to prevent animal abuse? Says WHO? I'm sick of the government wanting to run every single instant of everyone's life for them.

but sometimes, someplaces, in some situations, you must do what you must do.  It's part of the whole diplomatic thing.  When you are in the room with 7 or 8 heads of state and the food is being served, you can't really make the "bleeeeeaaach" face and spit it in your napkin, no can you?  Or maybe you are in USSR (not Russia again yet) and have to go to an official dinner... wouldn't do to offend the Soviet general who invited your unit.  Gotta eat at least some of it, drink some of the vodka and drive on...
