Ribbit

The legs are their most defining features. No you can’t eat them

Actually It's not just the French. At the very least, every Southeast Asian and East Asian eat them. I even once watched a Chinese video, of them raising frogs much like chicken, and fry them for food during drinking (Finger food). My friend once told me it tasted much like chicken, but people don't eat them because there's too little meat in them and a hassle to eat.
