The statue’s own story.
The original stands in Perechyn, Transcarpathia, where it celebrates the local custom of eating frog legs. Locals say French prisoners from Napoleon’s army brought the custom in the 19th century; that is local tradition, not a documented fact. The Budapest copy was spotted in the Szabadság tér park in July 2017.
