ReverendTedsays...How is this not in * horrorshow?
Anyway, who's hungry?

siftbotsays...Adding video to channels (Cooking) - requested by Hybrid.
Xaxsays...Weird. The salt causes this?
fjulessays...Yeah, salt causes muscle contraptions. They look pretty tasty actually. Like raw fish.

It's been a few years since I took Physiology, but I'm inclined to think the salt gets it started.
Muscle activity is primarily dependent on the flow of calcium, so I'm guessing the salt is triggering action potentials in the motor nerves. The residual twitching could be the result of disinhibition.
Being unfamiliar with frog anatomy (and culinary preparation) I'm not entirely certain how much of the spinal cord remains, if any; they don't appear to be particularly coordinated movements, so I suspect there isn't much spinal muscle memory going on.
That said, so much of animal physiology is dependent on the flow and balance of ions (like sodium), so it could be an entirely different process than I've postulated.

You might be thinking of S-Car-Go. Froggy legs taste almost exactly like chicken.
