Mountain Chicken (Historical)
An honest entry on a changed dish: mountain chicken — actually a giant frog (Leptodactylus fallax) — was Dominica's national dish for generations, stewed or fried with provisions.
What it is
An honest entry on a changed dish: mountain chicken — actually a giant frog (Leptodactylus fallax) — was Dominica's national dish for generations, stewed or fried with provisions. The frogs are now critically endangered (chytrid fungus and overharvesting) and hunting is banned; this entry documents the tradition and its conservation ending rather than recommending it. Today's Dominican table centres on the dishes below. Ingredients (historical): mountain chicken (frog legs), garlic, onions, chiles, thyme. Recipe (historical): 1) Season the legs. 2) Fry or stew in a Creole sauce. 3) Serve with ground provisions. Serve: historically at celebrations. Flavor: like chicken (hence the name). History: the mountain chicken's collapse is a Caribbean conservation landmark — Dominica now protects its namesake dish's animal. See also: Callaloo (Dominica), Roast Breadfruit (Dominica).
