Has anyone actually tried them before? They look pretty tasty to me if they are fried.

Both France and England eat food that's pretty gross but at least France's gross food actually tastes good

They take on other flavors rather well with a hint of fishiness

Here's the summary Do you want to eat something like Chicken Wings, but still have a pretentious air to you? Then your answer is frog legs.

Food is more or less capitalist, if stuff is good it will be popular.

Texture-wise they're very similar to mussels, flavor-wise they taste like whatever you saute them in. and you get to use the cool little escargot tools to eat them. there is a legitimate hypothesis backed by archaeological evidence that snails were the first "farmed" critters way back when. frogs are good too. like somebody else said, they're kind of like fishy chicken. only problem is there's not that much meat for the price so it's more of just a novelty to enjoy every now and then rather than an actual meal, unless you live in the swamp or something and catch them by the bucketfull.

That's like lobster or crab here in VA. It's extremely expensive for only a little meat.

Do you eat the rest of the frog? This seems like a waste of frog.
