After a comment about yesterdays Frog of the Day...the Tomato Frog, I thought I d go with the culinary theme today and focus on a particular part of the frog. Frog legs are one of the better-known delicacies of French and Cantonese cuisine. Currently the worlds largest exporter of frogs is Indonesia, also a large consumer. A type of frog called the edible frog is most often used for this dish. Frog legs are rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A and potassium. They are often said to taste like chicken because of their mild flavor, with a texture most similar to chicken wings.The taste and texture of frog meat is approximately between chicken and fish. Frog muscle does not resolve rigor mortis as quickly as warm-blooded muscle (chicken, for example), so heat from cooking can cause fresh frog legs to twitch. Gooooood Eatin!!!!
