We've all seen little moments on television where someone eats something exotic and their first description is, "It tastes like chicken." I have to tell you, that most things probably do.
A few years ago I tried frog legs at a thai restaurant. It tasted good. They were like minature versions of drumsticks, with lots of little bones in them and they tasted like chicken! Why is that? I did a bit of research on the internet to find out. Apparently, these meaty muscular pieces on the frog's legs is actually bland in flavor, like chicken breast is before it's seasoned and whatnot. It also has to do with the animal's ancestors. If they come from a common branch in the evolutionary chain, then they'll probabaly taste the same.
Look, frog meat vs chicken breast meat. Similar much?

Fun Fact: Did you know that we humans taste like pork? We've been described to have that flavor by cannibals and are reffered to as "long pork".
