Question

Why do some people prefer frog legs over chicken despite the latter being cheaper?

Answer 1

They don't really taste like chicken. It may be similar, but if cooked right, they taste different. The texture is also different. It is just a common analogy to say they taste like chicken, as it is the closest comparison.

Answer 2

My company paid the bill on the only occasion I ever attempted to eat frog legs. I was on a business trip with a co-worker, and he suggested we try them. I said, "Why not," and we did. These particular frog legs were tough, and they didn't taste like any chicken I've ever had. Based on that experience, I don't recommend them.. . I don't know whether these frog legs tried to jump out of the frying pan, but I wouldn't have been surprised if they did that and walked around some, too. They were that tough.

Answer 3

I've had frog legs in Singapore before and they were like chicken wings. Nothing that special (wings have too little meat for the effort anyway). . . Many people like to show off that they eat this or that - I think that's the main reason.... I've had squid and octopus - both are like rubber (have you seen a squid?).

Answer 4

everyone has different tastes, so to some it might not taste like chicken

Answer 5

It is a figure of speech.

Answer 6

Because they want to eat something different than chicken every day

Answer 7

For the same reason people buy things that are more expensive but do the same job: they believe the extra money spent makes them better people. It's an ego thing to try to come across as more important or something equally lame.

Answer 8

i personally would go for the chicken.. i saw my son cooking frog legs one time and they were trying to jump out of the pan.. this is really the truth.. so i do not think i want to eat any...the only reason i guess they would eat it is because they do not eat it very often .. and maybe to say they did...i know i never tried it though

Answer 9

Good question. I've never had them. But I've also heard that taste like. Turkey. I have had Calamari, though. It makes a great sandwich.

Answer 10

Its way cheaper just to walk down to the pond and gig some frogs. Other than drive 15 min into town and buy a $7 chicken.
