Frog legs are raised on farms (well, I think they actually raise whole
frogs). The farm-raised ones are probably tastier and more tender than most
of the ones caught wild.

The meat does taste like chicken, but I think it's juicier and sweeter.

Your question recalled a cartoon I saw years ago which showed a man about to
enter a restaurant. He notices a procession of frogs coming around the
building from the rear, where the kitchen must be, all of them legless, and
moving on little crutches.
