30. Frog Legs - France, Southeast Asia and other

Although some people might find them strange, frog legs are more commonly eaten than you think and might be some of the most appetizing foods on this list. People who tried them say that they have a texture and taste similar to chicken. Frog legs are most prominent in the French and Chinese cosine but are also consumed in other parts of the world in countries like Italy, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia and others.

Frog legs are rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and potassium. The taste and texture of frog meat is approximately between that of chicken and fish. Frogs are raised commercially in certain countries - for example, Vietnam. Frog muscles do not resolve to rigor mortis as quickly as muscles from warm-blooded animals (like chicken, for example) do, so heat from cooking can cause fresh frog legs to twitch. Frog legs can be prepared in different ways depending on the way they are prepared in different countries.
