Frogs are the unofficial mascot of Leap Day mascots and so its very fitting that today is National Frog Legs Day!
According to webholidays.com, "here's some fun Frog facts and trivia
Edible frog legs are consumed all over the world including Vietnam, Thailand, Northern Italy, Spain, Romania, and the Southern regions of the United States.
They are a delicacy in France and China.
Frog muscles don’t resolve rigor mortis as quickly as warm-blooded animals do, so heat from cooking can cause fresh frog legs to twitch.
They are rich in protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, and potassium.
In China, frogs are known as 田雞, which translates as field chicken."
