Frogs legs

So for my birthday this year, I went to a French restaurant in London. When a young French girl/boy becomes an adult, he/she has to eat 6 sets of frogs' legs. Just kidding. Nyaaaa~
Ok in all seriousness, I did try them but only because I have been very curious about how they tasted like. I had it as a starter and they were arranged like this:



I couldn't really realize what I got until I started separating them. Then I could really see the shape of the legs and I could really recognize the little animal (kind of made me laugh :P) as you can see on the photo below.

Such gracious legs.

I had heard before that frogs legs were kind of like chicken... And honestly I couldn't agree more. The meat is white like chicken and the consistency is also pretty similar. What was absolutely delicious was the sauce (butter, garlic and parsley). But the legs itself were nothing spectacular, I mean it just tastes like chicken but is more expensive than chicken. Obviously, it's worth trying and it's still a good experience but I don't think I would specifically order frogs legs for the sake of eating the actual meat. One down side was that I thought it was a bit too much for a starter (also because of the butter, it feels pretty heavy); only 3 sets of legs would have been enough for me. 

Anyways, I felt like a real Frenchy after eating this :P Oh no wait... Still never tried escargots... o_O
