We were earning our Boy Scout Wilderness Survival merit badge and we "womped" some frogs, chopped off the legs and roasted them on sticks. I next had them at the old Frog Lane Restaurant in Sudbury back in the 80's. They were on the appetizer menu and came fried-much better than the roasted ones from my youth. I have also had the fried variety a few times over the years in Maryland and Florida. When I see them on a menu, I'll usually go for it. The best I had were sezchuan spicy frog legs at a small cafe in Singapore. I don't think they taste like chicken-they taste like FROG! I still like 'em though.

I don’t think they taste like chicken-they taste like FROG! I still like ‘em though.

But there's a Chinese buffet here in Savannah that serves them. My husband likes them. I wouldn't eat them on a bet. Um. . .do they ever serve any other part of the frog? Ew.

I've had fried frogs legs at Dali in Somerville, and they were excellent. Tender, juicy, full of flavor, very very good. I may have to stop in to GTII to get me some frog legs!

The place we went on vacation every year in southern Missouri often served them--I specifically remember my little brother asking if they had them if they weren't listed. We were sort of adventurous, likely to eat things like squirrels or other small beasts caught hunting. The frog legs were delicious, I guess with that catch-all "tastes like chicken" description. They were more delicate than that, though. I had frog legs as a kid in Missouri.
