His cousins had gone gigging the night before and were frying them up in the back room of their auto shop. They did taste a bit like chicken and they were delicious...good memories. <br />I have only had them a couple times since then. There are a couple places around southern IL that serve them, but they are always a bit pricey and they never live up to that first time.-Rob, Simple Circle Studioshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08870433162485160315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-54699393407508991722012-02-07T08:56:41.007-05:002012-02-07T08:56:41.007-05:00I have eaten them, in fact I remember seeing them ...I have eaten them, in fact I remember seeing them twitch in the pan.

I don't think I'll be getting them again though.<br /><br />Hi Dennis, thanks, they were ok, kind of bland really.<br /><br />Hi Meredith, thanks, apparently the locals here eat turtle. When I traveled in Mexico back in the 1970s they had canned turtle soup which I had, but I couldn't eat turtle now. If I was starving I guess I could eat them though; I guess I'd have to.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-88429958987468741882012-02-06T07:42:26.786-05:002012-02-06T07:42:26.786-05:00never have eaten them although folks here eat both...never have eaten them although folks here eat both frogs and turtle.<br />I once read about eating turtle - that was as close as I got.<br />One of the dates my father took my mother on was frog gigging.cookingwithgashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11456258592273328486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-48385280380062376052012-02-06T07:26:21.095-05:002012-02-06T07:26:21.095-05:00Tasty looking frog legs.Tasty looking frog legs.Dennis Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01170187288282755570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7184126423669640998.post-43688149812874181722012-02-06T07:22:25.712-05:002012-02-06T07:22:25.712-05:00I tried frogs legs and I thought they tasted like ...I tried frogs legs and I thought they tasted like chicken.
