While many restaurants offer the delicacy, it is, for many consumers, an acquired taste, and not consumed in any large quantities anywhere, even in south Louisiana, where the cuisine was fashioned. Additionally, the frog referred to as a "Cajun" delicacy is Rana catesbiana, or the American bullfrog. This frog is not an imported species, nor is it a rare or endangered one. Rana catesbiana is farmed commercially in the United States and elsewhere to provide for human consumption. Re: Last Legs
