Edible frog (edible frog)
The common name for edible frogs. Frogs are eaten all over the world, including the bullfrog Rana catesbeiana (illustration), native to the United States, also known as the potato frog. For example, the English name of the European tree frog Rana esculenta means edible frog, and the tiger frog Rana tigrina , native to South Asia, is called water frog (tui-koi) because of the taste of its thigh meat. In the Amazon River basin, tadpoles of the upside-down frog Pseudis paradoxa , which can reach a total length of 25 cm, are sold in markets.
