Joe Cole insists he has embraced life in France - even down to eating frog\'s legs. The England midfielder, who is on a season-long loan to Lille from Liverpool, believes the style of play in Ligue 1 suits him and he is doing his best to adapt to the local culture off the field too. He told L\'Equipe Mag: \"I eat everything here - even frog\'s legs.\" Asked what aspects of French life he would take back with him to England when his loan spell was over, he said: \"I will make good coffee and I will adopt a mastiff dog like the one on the (Lille) club badge.\" Cole has also noticed differences between the match-going public. \"In England, a stadium will get to its feet for a mad tackle. Two players going full-blooded for a ball and it\'s party time. In France, the audience gets up if someone does a nutmeg or plays a 40-metre pass,\" he added.
