i'm not saying they aren't tasty who knows but it just kinda seems like a last resort food that became a delicacy over time. thats just my feeling. frog legs always kinda seemed like that to me too. i just picture some french neanderthal man who just couldn't seem to catch that bull going for the frog as an easy kill cause he was starving and then thinking"hmmmm not bad, and not to hard to catch" fast forward to now and its gormet.

guinea pigs is not a last resort
you can raise a ton of them on scraps and get plenty of meat
same with frogs
they might not have a lot of meat
but you can eat a ton of them and they don't go extinct

insects work great too
